Could our life be seen as a game, like a computer game?
And if we were playing a game, how might we choose to play it?
What outlooks, attitudes and skills might our lead actor/character require to be effective in this game?

How is it that actors, soldiers, police officers, deep-sea divers, doctors, nurses, and many others experience fear and anxiety while doing their jobs, but don’t let those scary thoughts or anxious feelings stop them from taking action?
