They say that there are only two emotions that drive the human being: fear and greed. Fear of losing, being left out and not measuring up. Greed for fame and fortune, for self respect and to reach the top of the pyramid.
I don't mind fame or fortune but need to have a mission important enough to go after the twins of human productivity and competition. If the mission matters then playing the game to get there becomes natural but gaming for games sake feels like a wasted exercise.
When mission matters your heart is pure and your focus is clear. Everything becomes simple and as a player you are in the famous zone. You feel untouchable and play with both instinct, heart and mind.
What mission you choose defines you as a person. Some people thrive by reaching fame, some by fortune and some both. Well, it takes a big ego to know one and fighting that bug is only human. But for your sanity it's important to not fall in love with the game and loose sight of why the mission mattered in the first place. But that's also very easy and extremely human.
In the end of the day, time always wins over fame and fortune. You can always win the small battles but time always wins the war. Time is your most valuable asset so make sure you spend it on something worth while.
