Playing puzzle games is so much fun, right; especially the one’s where the difficulty keeps enhancing with each passing level. Its my favorite pass time and I am sure many of my friends reading this too are addicted to some kind of games to relax their mind. Are you with me?

Thanks to smartphones, there are so many interesting games available to keep you mentally occupied and help you de-stress. Okay okay, I can’t miss mentioning Candy Crush, here 🙂 Crossing each level in these games is so satisfying; My mom who has recently got hooked on to Candy Crush, you can see the level of contentment she has every time she victoriously crosses each level. 🙂

If you are a gamer, you will also relate to the feeling of frustration of getting stuck at a particular level. I hate to use hints and want to kill the level all on my own! But few are so tricky and nasty that you just want to get over with those in a jiffy. So hints surely come handy. 😉

Have you observed that when you are in a flow, you can cross one level after the other as you get the knack of solving that puzzle, learn the strategy that’s been set around those levels and gradually you keep enhancing your learning and moving ahead!

Recently, I stared playing a puzzle game and just after I cleared the set of levels marked as “Warm up”, I tried attempting a puzzle from “Intermediate” level, which was after skipping “Beginner” and “Easy” levels, thinking that now I understand how to solve and will nail it in first go! Do you think I could do even the first puzzle?

Obviously not! After giving 3-4 tries, I understood, that I have to return to “Beginner” level and gradually come to this one to be able to solve. By the way, I have now cleared “Intermediate” level and mid way to “Medium” level already! Yippee!

What’s in the game that I wish to convey here?

I think our life is also like a puzzle game that we need to solve! Ironically, like the levels, in real life that gets replaced by our age. The challenges for 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s and so on, are sometimes so typical! Do you agree?

Like in the game, can we not consider every up and down moment in our life as a level that we are required to cross? Just a little sportsman spirit and we will be able to cross this journey of life happy, excited and full of energy.

Well, there will be moments when we will get stuck and feel frustrated and lost; but if we can learn to take it in a challenging way like we do in the game, we will be able to cross every hurdle without losing our positivity and morale.

Believe me, every down in life makes you tougher and stronger, so don’t get scared of trying. You will cross it for sure; though for some levels you just need little more perseverance than the rest. Look around for hints!

Mind you, balance is still the key!

Don’t try to jump and play intermediate level before you have crossed the earlier levels as we need to understand that like in the game, also in life we grow and mature gradually; learn the strategy of things and also how to crack them to win it!

Your parents, friends, acquaintances, even your own children may be able to give you some “Tips”, “Hints” or “Clues” to win a particular challenge. No harm in taking help if they have nailed that challenge in their life already. Some hints are worth trying, especially when you are stuck! Do you agree?

Either ways, please share your feedback in the comments section below. Waiting to hear from you!
