If you need to show off how good your life is, you’re playing Status Games.
You can play status games by posting your cool pictures on social media, engaging into politics & power games amongst peers & society in general.
While playing status games, usually you need to pull someone down to gain some thing.
Mostly status games are superficial.
That’s one of the reason I deactivated my Instagram account because somehow I started feeling I was getting into status games.
On the other hand, if you make enough money that it’ll take care of you without you lifting a single finger, you’re playing Wealth Games.
It includes building your stock portfolios, business, real estate investments, etc.
While playing wealth games, usually you need not pull someone down to gain something. Everyone can become wealthy together.
Playing status games is a constant juggling to prove that I’m better than you, I live better life than you, etc, etc.
Playing wealth games is being more mature, you compete with yourself, live peaceful life & gives you a good night’s sleep.
Status games gives you validation (Mostly you’re seeking validations).
Wealth games does not give you any validation. (Mostly, you’re not seeking validation in the first place).
You choose what you want to play.
