Life is a game…
All around us, we see the patterns amidst the ordered chaos.
Ludo, Chess, Snakes and Ladders, and even Monopoly, are all games that mimic the unwritten rules of life.
The Game of Life series will unpack these principles, starting with Chess, with a view to helping you understand the roles we all play on the Chessboard of Life, and how to choose your role.
This will not be aired publicly on Youtube, but you can request your zoom invite here: https://hsa.to/thegame
If you wish to invite a friend, please use the same URL.
This is happening tonight (Sat. 11th Feb) at 9pm WAT.
There will be no recordings.
Talk Soon,

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
Let us take this opportunity to be kinder, more thoughtful and more tolerant of other human beings.
Extend your charity to those who may be struggling.
On social media and in real life, express only kind words to people. Extinguish the rest.
Love yourself. You matter too.
Cheers,
— John Obidi

“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
The above is culled from William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar.
Brutus is considering whether to lead his forces against the army of the Roman general Mark Antony. He is unsure of what to do and is weighing his options when he utters this famous quote.
The phrase "There is a tide in the affairs of men" refers to the idea that there are crucial moments in life when the timing and circumstances are just right for taking action.
If one seizes these moments, they can lead to great success and fortune.
However, if one fails to take advantage of these opportunities, the opposite might be the case as some opportunities for ascension never knock twice.
There are movements that cannot be reignited after the energy of the moment is gone.
In this Game of Life, what is the role of chance?
What is the role of timing?
What lessons can we draw from games that draw heavily upon chance, like Ludo, Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders?
How can you be well positioned to catch the timely tides of defining moments?
Join us in the second installment of “The Game of Life” series as we discuss “Rolling the dice”
It will be held on Zoom, tonight (17-02) at 9pm WAT.

Did you ever play ‘Snakes and ladders’?
It was a game played with dice, similar to ludo.
If your piece landed on a snake, you had to go backwards in the game.
If you landed on a ladder, you progressed multiple steps forward.
Life itself is a Game of Snakes and Ladders.
There are People, Places and Conversations that possess that power to project you into prominence and fulfillment.
And there are also mindsets, habits and patterns that can keep you stagnant for years, devour your resources and throw you into situations that take a lot of time to recover from.
In the modern world, the Snakes and Ladders are difficult to discern and differentiate.
With all the information at our disposal, access to information is no longer a flex.
Discernment is.
What is truth?
Does the bearer or intent behind a true statement change the nature of truth?
What are opportunities?
What are the roles of purpose, mentors and peers?
What about this doctrine of time and chance?
"Too many teachings."
"Too many contradicting opinions and worldviews."
"I don’t want to make any mistakes."
"Why does this whole thing feel overwhelming?"
"Can we not just reduce it to one paragraph that we can just follow and get what we want out of life?"
Questions, Questions and more questions.
Tonight’s episode of Night School will leave you with a sense of Confidence, Clarity and Certainty.
And you will navigate these decisions with a stronger sense of purpose.
