Why So Serious? The game of life and how to play

In this episode of "Words With Myself," we explore the contrast between the seriousness with which adults and children approach life decisions. While adults often have well-thought-out reasons for their actions, children live more in the moment, free from the burdens of responsibility. This discussion delves into how adulthood's societal expectations create a cautious, mistake-averse culture, leading to a life that feels more like a task list than an enjoyable journey.

We examine how the fear of making mistakes and the pressure to meet expectations can cause us to miss out on the joy of living in the present. By viewing life as a game, rather than a series of rigid steps, we can embrace a more playful and experimental approach. This episode encourages listeners to let go of the need to control outcomes and instead focus on enjoying the experiences life offers.

Join us as we challenge the notion of life's importance, urging a shift from controlling every aspect to relishing the journey itself. Discover how to find freedom and joy in the unpredictable nature of life, appreciating it as a game meant to be played and enjoyed.
