TIME BETTING
We are all gamblers, stood over the roulette table of #life. In this gamble that is life, the number of betting chips we hold is equal to the number of hours we have left to live. As a 30-year-old, I'm likely holding about 400,000 chips, but I don't know for certain - nobody does. I could have just one left, I could have 500,000.
The one rule of the game is that we have to place one chip every hour, and once a chip is placed, we will never get it back. The wheel is always spinning, and how we place our bets determines the type of rewards we win from life.
We can place these chips on whatever we like; you might place them on watching Netflix, going to the gym, cooking, dancing, spending quality time with your partner, building a #business, learning a skill, raising a child or walking a dog.
How you place these chips is the one thing in life we can control, and it's the one factor that will have the greatest #impact on shaping our #success, #happiness, relationships, intellectual development, mental #wellbeing and legacy.
Although you can never get your chips back once they've been placed, if you allocate some of your chips to activities that improve your health, the croupier will hand you a few more chips.
The game ends when you run out of chips, and once the game is over, you don't get to keep any of the things you've won anyway, With this in mind you should be conscious of what prizes you bet your chips trying to win - you should prioritise the things that bring you #joy and deprioritise trying to attain hard-fought prizes that deliver nothing more than #negativity, #anxiety and #illusion.
