Here are some steps to “keep your eyes on the game of life at all times”—breaking that mindset into action:
1. Know Your Goal
• Define what “winning” means to you: peace, success, growth, freedom—your game, your rules.
2. Stay Self-Aware
• Check in with yourself daily. Are your actions matching your values? Are you reacting or responding?
3. Read the Field
• Pay attention to your surroundings: people, opportunities, risks. Awareness is your superpower.
4. Move with Intention
• Every step should serve a purpose, even rest. Don’t just move—advance.
5. Adapt and Adjust
• The game changes—so should your strategy. Be fluid, not fixed.
6. Control Your Emotions
• Stay cool under pressure. Emotional intelligence is like having extra lives in the game.
7. Keep Learning
• Study the moves of others, learn from your L’s, sharpen your mind like a blade.
8. Guard Your Energy
• Choose your battles. Not every opponent deserves your time on the board.
9. Keep Perspective
• Zoom out sometimes. The game is long—don’t get stuck on one play.
10. Never Zone Out
• Life doesn’t hit pause. Even in the quiet moments, stay alert & aware. By Joe Gradia
