Questions For The Game Of Life

By Maureen Killoran


These questions come from a little book I’ve been reading  as a way to begin the New Year. If. . . Questions for the Game  of Life by Evelyn McFarlane and James Saywell (Villard, 1995)  My partner and I have been playing it, throwing out questions  and sharing responses.

Some questions are easy and fun: “If you had the chance to  make any one purchase that you passed up in your lifetime, what  would it be?” (Ah, no contest! The set of antique china we found on the Oregon coast some 8 years ago but were too timid to buy.” 

Others are a challenge: “If you could choose the very last  thing you will see before death, what would it be?” (That took  some reflection, but, although I’m not a gardener, what I think  I’d most want to see is perfect, full-blown rose.) 

Still others plunge us into an intimacy we may or may not  have considered: “What is the one thing from your past about  which you feel the most guilty?” (OK, so I’m chicken – I pass!)


It’s a fun game, and a good relationship-builder. And yet I wonder: what happens if I go a step farther, take the initiative of shaping the questions I need to hear. 

IF . . . I want to make this year the best one of my life,  what one attitude will I change, starting right now?

IF . . . I truly believe that hope is possible and love is  real, how will I let it show?

IF . . . I want to live so that my values show, what one  thing will I do TODAY?

Your questions may be different from mine, and your answers  surely will. But that’s the beauty of the “Game of Life”. There are as many questions as you need. And only YOU can shape the  answers - IF . . . you only take your values in hand and dare  to begin.
