After an insightful conversation last night, I came to a realisation: Life is after all, just a game.

That vivification must have been staring at me in the face for the longest time -without me even realising. So many things we take for granted and are oblivious to. We ignore the little nudges our inner soul is prodding us, because humans are creatures of comfort after all. It's always easier to feel all snug and cushy in material and emotional solace, isn't it?

Life is all about chances, opportunities, and risks we face; as well as the choices we make regarding them. Nothing happens for no reason. All decisions lead to actions, and all actions lead to some kind of consequence, be it favourable or not. We are fully accountable for our own lives. All makes logical sense, but why is it so difficult to do right?

Theory differs from reality... a lot.

I was reminded of good advice given to me many years ago, which slipped to the back of my mind since it didn't really apply to me then. I'm grateful for those words of wisdom. Its invaluable. And in the real world, the price is heavy for every lesson learnt.

Nothing is constant. What is up will come down. What is in will be out. I need a solid rock to depend on. I should pray more, read my Bible more, learn to trust God more.

Help me Lord, I really can't do it on my own.
