Real life game > Video games.

Some people will spend thousands of hours playing videos games each year, but hardly any time improving their actual real lives. In video game land, all progress you've made becomes irrelevant the second the video game gets turned off. In real life, any gains you make last for much longer, potentially for life.

When you spend a little time on your diet, you live a healthier and more able life, longer life.

When you spend time on your career/skills you can then make higher earnings/improve quality of your work.

When you workout you change your body for the better, decreasing disease risk and improving to your aesthetics.

When I hang out with friends I create long-lasting relationships.

When I practice musical instruments, it makes me better to play in a band in the future and to make lots of people happy listening to music.
Etc, Etc, Etc ad nauseam

I'm not saying to give up video games altogether, but I'm a proponent of giving more time and focus to things that help you long-run, even if that means some short-term sacrifices.

I view real life as like a video game. What's the high score I can get for kindness, for productivity, for improvement, wealth/charity, mental health, knowledge, etc.... the good news is I don't ever have to turn off a system and my progress go to 0 literally in an instant. If anything my good actions in the past can have positive exponential benefits via the butterfly effect. e.g. I'm nice to someone, and then they tell their friends about a nice guy which makes other people more favorable to me. Another example is me focusing on building wealth at a young age, makes a huge exponential difference in regard to compound interest growth, etc...
I wish more people would strive to get these "high scores" in the "real world/life game"
