Play The Game

All the world is a stage and to perform well, you must develop the range to play many parts.

The quality of the game depends on the spirit in which the game is played.

Follow Your Bliss​

Questions, problems, and decisions form a single chain: questions help define and understand problems, problems create the need for decisions, and decisions are the choices made among possible solutions to those problems. In other words, good questions clarify the problem, and a clear problem leads to better decisions. What are common key decisions of the hero's journey from the cradle to the grave, what if there was a shared checklist of questions that anyone could use to navigate the journey better?

How would you make a game that helps with experiencing taking one-way decisions?

Mastery​

Education​

So much to learn in a rapidly changing world, it is very challenging to identify what knowledge and capabilities will be valuable to society.

Career and Financial​

People often experience fear when facing major career and financial decisions:

  • Fear of career repercussions leading to underperformance
  • Fear of making the wrong financial investment
  • Fear of starting a new business or changing careers
  • Fear of not having enough resources (scarcity mindset)

These fears can paralyse decision-making or lead to overly cautious choices that limit potential growth and opportunities.

Interpersonal Relationships​

Decisions involving relationships often trigger strong emotional responses:

  • Fear of rejection leading to avoidance of social situations
  • Fear of commitment in romantic relationships
  • Fear of confrontation causing unresolved conflicts

These fears can result in isolation, missed opportunities for connection, or prolonged unhealthy relationships.

Health Optimisation​

Fear can significantly impact health-related decision-making:

  • Fear of receiving bad news can prevent people from seeking medical care
  • Fear of side effects may lead to avoiding necessary treatments
  • Fear of lifestyle changes required for better health

This avoidance behavior due to fear can result in worsened health outcomes over time.

Major Life Changes​

Significant life transitions often evoke fear and anxiety:

  • Moving to a new city or country
  • Getting married or divorced
  • Having children or deciding not to have children

The uncertainty associated with these changes can create decision paralysis or rushed choices made out of fear rather than careful consideration.

Past Traumas or Mistakes​

Confronting past experiences or errors can be emotionally challenging:

  • Fear of reliving traumatic events
  • Fear of acknowledging and learning from past mistakes
  • Fear of being judged for past actions

This fear can prevent personal growth and healing, as well as limit future decision-making abilities.

Risky or Uncertain Situations​

Fear significantly influences risk assessment and decision-making in uncertain scenarios:

  • Overestimating risks and dangers
  • Overvaluing interventions meant to protect from perceived threats
  • Making decisions based on emotional rather than rational assessments
