Life Like a Game Of Bounce
Every Nigerian man and woman, lady and gentleman, girl and boy, children and toddler that had been in existence a decade ago must be quite familiar with the Nokia phone popularly referred to as 'Nokia Torchlight' which was the first 'smart' phone to have existed then. If that be the case, then one must be quite familiar with the few application softwares it embodied, few of them which include; Snake Xlevia, Football and Bounce game.
Today our interest, curiosity and growth is going to centre around that game of Bounce.
People have tried in the past to define or in more precise words, 'limit' life to a particular concept and have failed terribly. Life is as broad as it is diverse. It is so vast that no single illustration can embody exactly what it is. However, most times we just can't fail to liken life to some guiding concepts. These concepts do not encover all life entails, rather they posit lessons and guiding principles to guide you through the process called life.
A survey was carried out where a hundred person picked randomly from the streets were asked to describe what Life meant to them from their experiences so far. A hundred distinct opinions were recorded with certain constantly repeating similarities which centered around; self awareness, a journey, obstacles and the time factor.
However mindset wise, each recorded opinions were only simmered down to only two categories. This is what distinguishes the depressed from the motivated.
Out of a hundred opinion, only 5% fell into the second category. We're soon about to see that to an extent, the kind of life you live is a product of the mindset you carry.
Without Futher Ado;
In this game of Bounce in relation with life, let's take note of these certain things;
▪️The ball which is you
▪️The Steps alligned all across the screen, which acts as stepping Stones for the ball
▪️The Obstacles that are scattered all across the paths you should be going
▪️The fire that ensures you keep moving beyond a certain pace.
Life like a game of Bounce
Mindset 1:
◾The ball is you: This ball bounces all along the way through life, climbing the ladder of steps. Now the ball may miss a step and fall back. And if it doesn't regain stance, then it's game over. So it keeps moving.
◾The steps are limitless:The steps and are ever not seizing. You keep climbing the those till you're too weak to move one more step, then it's game over. If you also miss a step and do not regain pace, then it's still game over
◾The obstacles on your path: The obstacles are numerous and they keep rolling in. You avoid some you hit some. As it hits you you're getting weaker. When you feel as though you've been hit by the worse blow there possibly could be, then you're hit again. Until it hits you to the point of game over. But you don't stop. Not because you don't want to. But because you can't. When you do it's another definite case of gameover.
◾The Churning fire: It's after you. You can't stop for too long to rest least it consumes you. So you're practically running your way through this life. You're like a prey admirably soothing to the heat of the fire. When these obstacles hit you and you want to stop and rest you must be conscious least the fire consumes you. Hence the hustling and bustling on every corner of the street under the sun and into the moon. When the realisation that the Life that'd been termed 'Free', it's just a very subtle way to say 'Enslaved'. For man must toil the ground to survive, and woman must bear the pain of raising generations upon generations to come. You can't stop, else it's game over. So you continue to the point of game over.
Whichever way you go, whatever thing you do, all this category of depressed person can see is a pathetic case of game over. The will and zeal to move on decrease with each tick and tock of the clock.
