Life is a One Time Game

Defeat is not a Choice


Life is a one time game that you are playing simultaneously at individual and team level.  At individual level, you are up against the external world.  At team level, your rival is your own inner self.  To win against the external world, you need to be a winner against your inner self.  


The strength you derive from your inner source of energy can withhold the onslaught of external forces for a long time.  It is, therefore, of paramount importance that you are always on better terms with your inner self.


It is a continuous war and you cannot take the risk of being in a weakened state to fight on the external frontiers. Your reinforcements are limited as compared to those of external forces.  


Here are three basic tips to build amicable relations with your inner self:


Be Fair with Yourself


The very first step towards lessening the differences with your inner self is to be fair with yourself.  Being fair means to be honest and sincere.  Your actions must speak for your characteristics that display your external personality traits.  The slightest element of hypocrisy can cause cracks in your life that may not be visible at an initial stage but lately they could devastate you.  


Maintain Your Self Esteem


Self esteem is not simply a state of mind.  It is a powerful force that protects you against the universal negative forces.  This single force can help you stand firm in the battle-ground of life.  It holds you back from crumbling to pressures under unfavourable circumstances and in nerve-shattering situations.


You should not fall victim to any bargain at the cost of self esteem that is very difficult to regain if once lost.  Self esteem is your magic golden key to survival in the darkness of despair, depression and agonizing solitude.


Determination to Win


And last but not the least is your will power, your determination to win against evil forces at any cost.  God has sent you to this world to win this battle.  Don't even think about losing it.  A strong positive attitude supported by an unwaivering conviction in your cause is your best defense against all the rival forces combined.  


Each one of us is a God's warrior in this world.  However, some of us prefer to be deserters and join hands with negative forces to quench the thirst of their lusty desires but at the end of the day they are big losers.


With the above three actions you can develop strong and lasting relationship with your inner self and no evil power of the world can push you back from your line of control.


There are various frontiers which you have to defend in life.  Some are not that important to defend while others require massive sacrifices from you.  It is entirely up to you to devise an intelligent strategy to move your forces to the frontier that you cannot afford to lose, for life is a one-time game and you cannot be sure to have another chance.


So, my friends, fight on each and every frontier as if it is your last battle and you have to win it.
