Every habit I wanted to break—snacking when I wasn’t hungry, doom-scrolling instead of sleeping, putting off that creative project “until I felt inspired”—all of them lived in this mental buffet of options, and I was out here loading my plate with stuff I didn’t even like.

Every RPG starts with the Call to Adventure. Whether it’s the courier delivering the fateful letter in Skyrim, waking up in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout, or receiving your first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the journey kicks off with a disruption of the ordinary world.

In real life, change is scary. But in a game? It’s exhilarating. RPGs train us to embrace the unknown and dive into challenges, reinforcing the idea that stepping outside our comfort zone can lead to epic rewards.

Welcome, fellow players, to the ultimate RPG called Life—where the difficulty settings are randomized, the NPCs sometimes give terrible advice, and the respawn points are… well, let’s not talk about those.  But fear not! Unlike your average loot box, we all spawn with some insane innate abilities. The trick? Most of us forget to equip them. So, let’s dive into the skill tree and unlock the hidden OP (overpowered) traits that make this game way more fun: empathy, resilience, creativity, positivity, kindness, and altruism.
