"We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."
- The Buddha
Imagine being invited to participate in a game whereby you don't know the duration of this game.
Not only that, you don't know the exact rules of the game nor do you know the way to win said game or by what criteria you will be judged at the end of the game to know if you won of lost!
The only way to figure out the rules is to either listen to people who are also playing the game and have been playing it longer than you, or just gather information and decide what rules to follow.
So you play this game based on your own judgement of what the rules of the game are and ONLY AFTER the game is over do you find out if you played the game correctly!
Sounds crazy but this is exactly how life works, isn't it?
The rules of this life game are really up to us to choose to follow based on our beliefs, goals, other's input, and data we process.
And only after we play the game out completely will we realize whether or not we played by the right rules.
So choose wisely the rules you want to follow and craft your life around the right principles!
Everyone is playing this same game along side us and operating under different rules and strategies, do not be swayed and follow the wrong ones that will not bring you joy or happiness!
Have faith in the right path and trust you will be ok when the game is finally over!
Stay Strong!
