Life Is a Game (Motivational Speech)

Life is too short to be taken too seriously
Live light, treat life as a game, it is, and guess what?
You make the rules

You would think, given we know life is so short
You would think given we all know we are going to die
That as human beings, we might make the most out of our lives

Live fully, live happy, not stress
Knowing that nothing will matter in the end
Not seek more and more things to complete us
Knowing that we can't take any of it with us

You would think that, but we all know it's not the case
Life is a game, and everyone can play
Everyone can win, you win by taking control of your mind
By learning how to control your emotions
By committing to growing your emotional muscle every day
By focusing on the positives, not getting lost in the negative

Did you know you can be happy?
Regardless of your circumstances
I bet they didn't teach you that in school
Any emotional state can be achieved by anyone
It all depends on how you view your life and your life challenges

Past and present
When you treat life as a game, it becomes a fun adventure
It becomes lighter, less serious, isn't that how it's meant to be?
Lighten up, let's play, lighten up, let's win this game of life

How many times today can I be happy?
Truly happy, authentic happiness
Because I know if I'm looking for it consistently
It will show up consistently, that is law

If I focus on it, it will come about
So my intention is to find as many ways as possible to be happy today
And to make those around me happy
I will write down my results, and tomorrow I will aim to beat it

How positive can I be when faced with big challenges?
I won't go seeking challenges, but when they do come up
As I know they do for all of us
My intention is to respond with positivity
With compassion and with non judgement

Nothing good has ever come from a negative reaction
I know that
So my focus will be on filling myself up with positivity
So I can handle any situation

How many times can I give today?
Today my intention is to give to others
It doesn't have to be money or things
I might give a smile, a hug
An ear to listen or some words of encouragement
I know that positivity can change someone's day

I know giving to others can mean so much more
To the receiver than they could ever express
And I know giving is its own reward
My intention is to give to as many people as possible today
And tomorrow I will try and better it

Remember, you can always win this game of life
Is your intention on winning?
Is your attention on winning?
Is your intention to be positive?
To grow and learn every day

To live in non-seriousness
To learn from the happiest, most successful people on the planet
It's all up to you, let's play
