Play, But How Far?
Survivors and especially more successful people may be more forgiving than others. Since they made it through life, they may let their kids take even greater chances.

The Prep And The Event
You prep to pitch so you can win the right to host the Olympics. Then if you win the right to host, you prep for 8 years so you can do a great job. There is a lot of prep to host a few weeks of sporting competitions. And then it is all gone but for the memories. So much of life is the same process: idea, pre-prep, prep, brief event and memories. From a holiday, to a job, education or a marriage, a similar pattern plays out.

Note how you feel when you consider the 5, 6 or 7 figure sum for the first time. How does that change once you’ve decided to take the leap and pay the bill? And once it’s been paid? It’s an interesting mental transition.

Only A Glimpse
That’s all we ever see into another persons life. We don’t know all of their inner thoughts, daily habits, emotional or financial struggles or challenges with their family, school or work.
With 700,800 hours in an average life, that’s a lot of hours to transfer to someone! Especially to someone who’s trying to live their own 700,800 hour life.

Not Hard Nor Easy
