You are in the great game - points counter points

Today you are in the Great Game. And this moment you have right now might as well be the most important moment in the universe.  Go out and live fully now.

Achievements are great. It is satisfying to accomplish something. It feels good to win. And many achievements make the world a better place, too.

But also remember to ask, "What am I really trying to accomplish here?" You may realize the goal is not to write a best-selling book or earn that promotion or get into medical school, but rather to build a life you enjoy. And there are many versions of a life you enjoy.

It is often the case that if you can release the narrative of "I have to do this" to be happy, then a different (but equally lovely) life is waiting for you."

"I ask myself: are defeats necessary?

Well, necessary or not, they happen. When we first begin fighting for a dream, we have no experience and make mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
