⛑️ What game are you playing?

It’s easy to get caught up in “success” — climbing the ranks, hitting the milestones, chasing the next goal. But what if “How do I win?” is not the only important question? What if “Is this the game I want to play?” is just as — if not more — essential?

There are 2 revealing signs:

• Your energy: As you keep winning, which feeling is more powerful and lasting — feeling drained or feeling fulfilled?

• Your hero: Do you admire people in entirely different fields? If your admiration stems from their “game,” what is that “game”? Are you playing a similar one in your everyday life?

Sometimes, the game we’re playing and the game we want to play are similar. Like Elizabeth Gilbert, who transitioned from journalism to storytelling, finding fulfillment through her memoir, Eat, Pray, Love.

Other times, they differ drastically. Jeff Bezos left a successful career on Wall Street to pursue his vision for e-commerce, founding Amazon after realizing it was his “calling.”
