The Infinite Game
Infinite game: a game or activity where the primary objective is not to win, but to keep playing and perpetuate the game itself. i.e. you give up, you lose.
My first memory of the idea was from Alex Hormozi and I was reminded of it again today on another video. I think it's a great concept and mental model because if everything worth doing to you is treated like an infinite game, then there are no unrealistic standards or goals, no real failure and no opponent to beat. Just to keep playing the game indefinitely. Matches well with an idea in Atomic habits where you want to create a habit, you change who you are. If you're playing that game, then you'd do it long enough to pass through all the obstacles you need to get to to hit your goals.
