PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE AND AIM TO WIN

Rachna Singh

At every turn life throws up a challenge, proposes a war, wherein one of the two must happen- our triumph or defeat. Life wishes to lead us to a point where it no longer matters whether we win or lose, but we have to win to reach that point! Till the time it poses as an opponent, we must respond as one. Firstly, stop expecting denials and obstructions from the Universe. We are more often our own hindrance than anything else and victory lands at our doorstep just like that, when we overcome our resistance to win. Be total; totality is a pre-requisite in war, like in love. Aim at conquering the mind of the adversary, not individual moves, for oft you may mess the moves, yet win the game. Play fearlessly. Let not your fear assume as threat situations that are opportunities. Keep your cool. When you appear to have been overthrown, you can still overcome, if you do not yield to helplessness disguised as prayer, but offer to be your own help. Remember, for a true feat, you often have to rise from the shreds of our debris, not always from the pedestal of good fortune. You must not surrender when you can surmount! Always think ahead, the next step, forgetting the previous. Play to your own conviction. Then, even if you fail, you would have succeeded.

“Fight when you know you cannot win. When victory is certain- resign!”
