Hearthstone’s Fulfillment Secret

Remove the stakes, give yourself permission to fail and see what you can do.
Join me as we embark on a journey back to my childhood, where the virtual battles of this addictive game held a hidden secret. As I played for hours, facing countless defeats, my mother’s insightful words echoed in my mind: ‘Imagine channeling that same dedication into real-life success.’ The revelation struck me: video games offered a unique freedom to fail without dire consequences, unlike the stakes we perceive in our own lives.”
Years later I was going to college. I was a good student but I was miserable and it was killing my passion for what I wanted to do. So I reached out to my parents and said “If I am going to approach my life the same way I approach something like Hearthstone, I need permission to fail. I need permission to make a dumb decision like leaving school when I only have one semester left.” And thankfully my parents gave me that permission. So I left school and I haven’t regretted it since.
Fast forward seven years later and I have a built a successful career and I’m doing what I love. Had I stayed in school I never would have gone down this path that has been incredibly fulfilling for me. Trust me when I made the decision I was terrified. I understand how scary it is to give yourself permission to fail, but it is in that place that people find true fulfillment.
So, if you are going along the railroad of life and feeling miserable, I would encourage you to think about how you would approach the situation in a video game. Remove the stakes, give yourself permission to fail, and see what you can do.
