How many yellow cars?

Posted on by philipdodson

So we were driving back home this evening and to while away the journey we decide to play ‘how many yellow cars?’, which is a game where you all say how many yellow cars you think that you will see before you get home? The one who is closest to their number wins. Now I am not telling this story because I won (oh and I won ‘how many Christmas trees?’ too, LOL).

No, the reason for it is, that before smartphones and tech, those were the kind of games we all played to avoid boredom, but the avoidance of boredom that involves using your own imagination and then playing something with a group of others is what leads to fun, creativity, memories and so much more than can be offered by a 6 inch glass screen that you are singularly connected to.

Get out of the tech and count yellow cars for a more fulfilling life.

Risk

Risk, it’s a great game and similar to life, every single game is another chance to succeed or not.

Often, we think that it’s the dice that determines the outcome, and sure in any one game you can have a bad run, but overall it evens out.

There are two things that determine the game.

Having a strategy and taking the risk of executing it.

Life is the same, have a plan, give it a go and see what happens.

Often we get held up on blaming the roll of the dice, something that we have no control of.

As in the game, in life, we have another day, another chance to try a different strategy.
