MUCH LOVE
Today
I want to talk about the CANDY CRUSH mentality. For those of you who are
conversant with this game, you might think of words like sweet, sugar crush
etc. But now I want to talk about the addictive tendencies of this particular
game and how we can use the same addictive tendencies in a positive light.
I
want to start by saying that I am a huge fan of the game. I play it every day.
I love the challenge of the levels and the fact that I will not quit until I
have finished a level and move on to the next one. But I have realized one
thing, the game is so addictive to the point where people just play and not
realize the sole purpose of the game itself. A female friend once told me,
“always read between the lines”. The game itself preys on our NEVER SAY NEVER
natural instincts.
When
we were born into this world as babies, we instinctively wanted to crawl, and
then all of a sudden, we wanted to walk, run and finally, fly. I know what
you’re about to say “humans can’t fly” but the challenges of life keep us from
figuring out how to fly. Candy Crush provides the players different levels of
difficulties and tasks the players’ brains in finding out the right combination
of candies to create a certain effect and the more candies you align, the more
the bonuses and that is where you hear words like DIVINE and SWEET.
Please
keep in mind I am not bad mouthing the game. I am a huge fan of the game and I
play it every free chance I get. But I want us to take a look at this game in
its figurative sense and see how we can use the analogy of the game in our
everyday lives. The game can be seen as life itself. It provides us with
challenges and difficulties which come in various arrays of candies that are
placed on a particular level. At first it seems easy, but as you progress, you
find more difficult levels to deal with. But you are rest assured that as you
continue to make the right combinations (choices) you will get bonuses that
will assist you in getting rid of those difficulties that you will encounter
while playing the game.
Also,
as you continue playing, you will encounter levels where you are given a
limited time of 90 seconds to come up with a solution to a particular problem.
In this case the player gives all he can to beat the clock. This is where the
NEVER SAY NEVER attitude of the player kicks in high gear. He may fail to beat
the clock but that instinct kicks in later on and he/she tries again.
We
should put the same attitude in our everyday lives by looking for new things to
conquer. When God created you, he gave you everything you need to succeed in
life despite your present circumstances. Life is like a candy crush game. You
have challenges which are set before you every day and it is your job to think
about how you can get through life’s obstacles. There are times you run out of
options but that should not stop you from trying again; there are times you
can’t beat the clock but do not let it stop you from trying again.
And
here is the kicker about this game. It feels like it never ends. Just like
life, till the day you die, you cannot avoid challenges but God has given us
the means and the intellect to deal with and attack life’s minions that try to
weigh us down.
So
people! LET US EMBRACE THE CANDY CRUSH MENTALITY AND STRIVE FOR NEW WAYS TO
MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE.
I look forward to reading your comments.
