Hi reader,

I’m a thoughtful driver in real life, but in the gaming world I’m Evel Knievel.

Fast curves. Reckless speed. Questionable decisions.

It’s not like real life. That’s kind of the point.

And a couple decades ago, racing games started including “ghosts”.

Let’s say you complete a lap or a level and decide to try again.

This next go round, there will be a semi-transparent image of your vehicle driving at the exact same time doing the exact same moves you did before.

You can’t crash into it or anything, but you will see it constantly along the race.

Actually, that part does feel like real life 👻

Depending on what you believe, we remember what we’ve experienced in our body, in our mind, in our soul.

But the ghosts are always there.

They inform our habits.

Build our defenses.

Color our world.

And, in some cases, we’re busy chasing these ghosts of the past.

Fighting based on the measurements we outgrew.

Trying to one up the loss we had ages ago.

Proving ourselves to people who are gone.

And not paying attention to the new race we could actually win 🏁

Feeling like you are starting over?

On BringYourWorth.tv Live, we talk about how to pivot your career, building up the next skills you need, and creating multiple streams of income before you have to.
