Set your goals high- and knock down the little things in the process. It's better to aim for higher possibilities, unless it's necessary to wipe out the lower ones that might suddenly end the game.You have to learn and practice being holistic. Not looking at the whole picture can be disastrous. When you are doing well on one part - the other side is slowly inching down to wreck your chance of finishing.You have to learn and practice being adaptable. Sometimes the overall situation changes unexpectedly - one little shift presents a whole new situation.Patience is a virtue to be learned and practiced. Sometimes when you shoot too fast - you miss a better opportunity that you would have seen if you had been less impatient.

These are the things I have come up with: I have decided that in order to justify the time I have wasted, I must invent some philosophical justifications that apply to the game and to life Itself. When you succeed in clearing the board, what do you have?ĭeep down, I believe there must be a reason for everything, so I have convinced myself that the exploding bubbles of many different colors must have a hidden spiritual meaning or important life-lesson. It doe not give you exploder points, or exploder scores. This game does not play a fanfare or unfurl virtual celebratory banners. Why am I drawn to this mindless game when my mind is supposed to be properly educated and not so easily amused? Why am I compelled to waste this much time blowing up colored bubbles when the risk of failure is so high? Even when there is success- there is no real reward or even and the illusion of succeeding at something. No, I don't post my name or my score! It could put me in danger of being involuntarily committed to a rehab program for bubble-exploding marble game addicts. Myself does not always listen- but at least now she seems more satisfied that it doesn't have to prove it anymore - but then again - Could it have been a fluke? Could I really do it again? On the other hand, I believe it has become sort of a meditative exercise which effectively clears my mind of worrisome things I need to do, like cleaning house, paying bills, sleeping, eating, bathing, flossing my teeth and giving the dog proper pats.Įach day, I tell myself that I will NOT waste time proving that I can do this.
