What life lessons can Jenga teach you?

I've never played the game Jenga, have you?

I finally got to play it last week at a party. It consists of blocks that you stack into a tower and then you remove one block at a time, placing the block you took on top of the tower. You do this hoping the tower doesn’t fall. Obviously, there will come a time when it will!

Here’s what this game taught me –

I began the game not wanting to make a mistake, so I was timid and serious at the start. After the first tower fell (not on me!) I got more and more comfortable removing blocks from the bottom, even as the tower would start to sway. I found I enjoyed being daring!

LESSON 1: Trying to look good impedes learning and experience. And having fun!

After learning Lesson 1, I began to see the tower differently, and as a result how I played changed. I paid attention to details I wouldn’t normally notice and experimented. After all, it wasn’t IF the tower would fall, but WHEN. Admittedly, when it did fall, we all laughed and rebuilt the tower and played again.

LESSON 2: Once you stop focusing on not making a mistake you’re capacity to learn expands. And having fun!

I didn’t know any of these people when I arrived. Lesson 2 led to becoming part of the group! Everyone was in this together; each with different styles of play, each playing their part.

LESSON 3: Working together creates its own energy and can build community. It’s definitely great when there’s a spirit of cooperation and, may I mention, fun!

Which leads me to….

LESSON 4: Play and fun does a person good! So why separate play and fun from our everyday life? What if you could combine things you do and add a touch of fun? You could dance as you vacuum, do the dishes, and/or brush your teeth. Skip as you go to another room in your home. How about taking a moment while online and look up a funny joke and share it with someone?

There’s always a game of Jenga!

Here’s a link to start your fun!

Here’s to your Life Breakthroughs!

Jenga is a game that does not strike me as a challenging one, but it does help try understand life. Jenga is a game of balance, and just like in life, Jenga requires a lot of steady movement. If you just rush and remove a block, then the Jenga blocks will just fall in front of you. Similarly, if you try to rush decisions in life, then your life will just fall apart. Jenga does model a lot of what life is about.

I'm sorry I didn't read your comment sooner!

Thank you for your comment; I agree, Jenga can show us many things, as so many things in life when we look from different perspectives.
