you play the game you play The Life game you play the the Milestone game of I'm going to go to school I'm going to do this I'm going to get married I'm going to have children I'm going to do then I retire and you reach the top of the mountain and nothing's there and you realize that the whole time you've been had you realize that the game was rigged that it wasn't about the win or loss at the end it wasn't the point score at the end versus other people even versus yourself it was about the practice it was about the team you were playing with it was about the camaraderie it was about the connections that you made with your teammates your family friends it wasn't about the end and we've all realized that we've been had by the companies that say they they value us and that we're inval employees then we get laid off we realize how disposable we are in the world we realize how fragile we are as human beings and how fragile our parents and and children are we realize how little control we have over the environment and where we get led to in life and it doesn't mean that we're a cork in the ocean that we're just being toppled by waves that's not what I'm saying I'm saying that we are a ship in the ocean and you create your ship and you have teammates rowing and you have all these people on board and and you can't control the wind man you can't control the waves but you can control the sales you can make the best of the situation you can steer in the right direction that you want to go but we only have so much control and one thing that we can control is our expectations what do we expect to happen in this situation where do we expect to be and if you're comparing everybody else's worldly achievements with yours where are you going to end up I'm in this position but they're in that position therefore I did something wrong because I expected to be where everybody else is the the deflation that comes with that is tough
