Yesterday afternoon I was sat with my family playing 'The Game of Life'.
For those who don't know how to play, I will quickly explain.
Each player chooses a job and a car, they then set off around the board doing 'life stuff'. For example, getting married and having a child or discovering new species of animal ect.
But what intrigued me most was the fact that the whole game is controlled by the randomness of the spinner. No-one knows what is going to happen next. And that got me thinking, our lives are almost exactly the same as this board game! People may argue that our lives are not random, we have control over what we, as a person, do with our lives. But is that true?

The truth is, you shouldn't be afraid of the randomness of life. Live in the moment, enjoy what you do and, most importantly, be happy!
