You are in a pinball game

The purpose of pinball is to keep playing.

There is no final level and there is no maximum score.

If you beat your high score, that’s awesome but you don’t win. You play another round to see if you can do better.

If you don’t beat your high score, that’s fine but that’s not a total loss. You play another round to see if you can do better.

The whole project of growth maps well to these principles.

Some rounds will be great; others will not.

And it’s totally fine because the game — the chance to do great— is always in play as long as you are willing to jump in for another round.
