Yeah.
I mean, you do have to take some risk into account there, but let's set risk aside for a second.
I'm a poker player.
Life is a game.
let's act like we're playing poker, where you're trying to make decisions that on average open up better possibilities for you and make those better possibilities more likely to happen.
And if you keep doing that over and over again,
What that means is that you're making decisions that have a higher chance.
This is where the odds come in.
Have a higher chance of getting you to achieve the things that you want to achieve, getting you to achieve your goals, whatever those goals might be, right?
It's going to help you do that.
And the better decisions you make, the more likely that you'll achieve the things that you want to achieve compared to another version of you who made worse decisions.
So that's all we're trying to do, right?
So it is a game of odds, right?
We're trying to increase the likelihood that good things happen to us.
That's the thing that we're trying to do.
And we do that through great decision-making.
So you just have to keep saying, I just have to focus on my decisions.
I've got to make sure that my decisions are really good because that's the thing that's going to make you have a better life.
Well, for sure.
For sure.
