#4: Quit Playing Games with My Heart
When was the last time you actually pulled out the instruction manual for a game and made sure you were playing it correctly? For most of us, the answer is “Not since I first played, and honestly, even then we sort of skimmed the rules and made up the rest of it because instruction manuals are boring.”
So there is a chance that you aren’t playing your favorite games correctly. Maybe, over time, you’ve developed personal rules or house rules that supersede the written rules. Or maybe you’ve always played it wrong and never noticed. How do you ever know? It’s not like you’re going to double-check the manuals. They’re boring.
