✨This world is just one of many stations on our infinite journey. It’s a stage where we play a specific role, with a set scenery, partners, and plot – but when the act ends, the curtain falls, the lights go out, and we return “home.” There, in our true reality, we watch the whole performance with a smile, seeing that everything was just a fragment of a larger whole.
The problem is that here, during the game, we often forget that it is a game. We step into our role so completely that we identify with it entirely. Then work becomes a “matter of life and death,” school seems like the sole measure of our worth, and other people’s opinions can ruin a day or even a month. In that state, it’s easy to fall into the trap of the matrix – the collective illusion that we must constantly chase, compare ourselves, and prove something to the world.
Meanwhile, what seems catastrophic from the perspective of the body – losing a job, failing an exam, the end of a relationship – is simply another episode in the series, another task in the game from the soul’s perspective. These “adventures” aren’t meant to break us, but to awaken us, show us other possibilities, and teach us perspective.
Life is a school – but not one in which a strict teacher waits for you to make a mistake so they can give you a failing grade. It’s more like a universal academy of experiences, where you can take every test as many times as you like. You can learn patience, courage, empathy – and if something doesn’t work out the first time, you can return to it later, in this or another incarnation.
When you take life too seriously, cling tightly to your plans, and see every deviation as a tragedy, you miss the bigger picture. But when you treat it as an adventure, you suddenly realize the world is full of alternative paths. The job you feared losing is just one of many roads. The school given so much importance is only one chapter in your education, and the true learning happens in everyday encounters, conversations, highs, and lows.
Many people who’ve had near-death experiences say their deepest regret was letting fear and stress steal their joy of being “here and now.” They regret that they laughed so rarely without reason, that they postponed their dreams “for later,” and that so many moments slipped through their fingers because they were too busy with “important matters.”
Yet the soul comes here for something completely different – for the taste of experience. It wants to feel what it’s like to fall in love, to miss someone, to lose and to win. It wants to see a sunset, hear a friend’s laughter, smell the rain. It also wants to face challenges, because they strengthen it. But not to fall into a spiral of fear – rather, to discover that even in the greatest chaos, peace is possible.
We are here only briefly. Like tourists in a foreign country, we can admire the sights, try local flavors, sometimes get lost in the streets, and sometimes discover something we weren’t even looking for. If we allow ourselves this lightness, life becomes a fascinating journey, not a list of duties.
That’s why it’s not worth taking it too seriously. It’s better to play your role with passion but remember it’s just a role. Better to dance in the rain than wait for perfect weather. Better to laugh at your mistakes than cry over a script that went differently than planned. Because when the curtain falls, what will matter is how much we were able to love, experience, and enjoy this one-of-a-kind, brief visit on the stage called Earth.
