#037 | Lifestyle Gamification

Lifestyle gamification, at the highest level, is simply treating life like a game. But it’s much more than there. At the macro level, just like any games, you have an ultimate objective. In the game of life, the ultimate objective is to reach above your minimum happiness threshold level, which it’s the minimum happiness you need to be happy in life! In order to start working towards this threshold level, you need to first know what makes you happy, aka self-awareness. Only once you have figured it out will you start the game of life.

At the micro level, you are the player of the game of life. As a player, you have different traits, personalities, and knowledge. Your goal is to obtain knowledge to discover yourself. You only make progress in the game of life when you learn more about yourself; learn what makes you happy. Once you “figured” out what makes you happy, you laser-focus your effort into maximising it. When you lose what makes you happy, you go back to rediscovering yourself. You keep doing this until you die.

In the game of life, nothing matters besides reaching your minimum happiness threshold level. In the game of life, there’s only one competition — who’s the happiest. In the game of life, the competition doesn’t matter and everyone whose happiness level is above their own minimum threshold is the winner of the game of life.
