Playing the Right Game: Goals, Balls, and the Art of Success

 Life is a vast playground filled with countless goals — some shaped like basketball hoops, others like soccer nets or cricket stumps. Each goal requires a different ball, a different strategy, and a different skillset. The game of life is not just about having goals, but about choosing the right tools to pursue them.

Most people today chase a common goal: money. It’s a popular target, but not everyone is equipped with the right ball to score it. Life might hand you a brush and canvas when you’re trying to shoot baskets. Or a cricket bat when you need a keyboard. The mismatch leaves many frustrated — not because they lack talent, but because they’re playing the wrong game with the wrong tools.

In their eagerness to chase artificial goals set by society, people often try to reshape their lives to fit what the majority accepts — instead of pursuing the goals that naturally align with who they are.

Success isn’t just about chasing a goal. It’s about understanding what kind of game you’re meant to play. Look at the ball life has handed you — your skills, your passion, your circumstances — and choose the goal that matches it. Then play with focus, creativity, and intent.

That’s how you stop playing someone else’s game — and start winning your own.
