Live it like you play it.
make life into a videogame, do not be harmed by your pains, observe them, you would in a videogame.
dont bother paying attention to all the braying idiots that populate the game, you wouldnt be sitting there wasting time in a videogame...
dont bother working on menial tasks that do not help you on your path... you wouldnt in a videogame...
and if all else fails, at least use god mode and get the story...
