Takeaway: In life, there is no coach to put you in the game. If you don't put yourself in the game, you will sit on the bench until it's too late and the game is over.

If life is a game, there are no rules, no scoring system, and no playbook.
Every single person is making it up as they go.
We each have to define for ourselves how we’re going to play the game and what it means to score.
Sometimes we get lost in other peoples’ games—trying to score in a way that doesn’t make sense to us or playing by rules that don’t feel right.
And other times, we get so confused by all the different games happening on the field that we decide to sit on the sideline and try to figure out what the hell is going on.
Sitting on the sideline is the worst thing you can do. There is no coach to put you in the game. If you don’t put yourself in the game, you will sit on the bench until it’s too late and the game is over.
Define your rules. Figure out what it means to score. Then get out there and play the game.
