On Slot Machines and Life

The shiny lights and loud sounds that beckon you in. People surrounding large craps tables all screaming. The tantalizing thoughts of hitting it big. The press of a button standing between you and greatness. Casinos really put on a big show.

What you may not know, is there’s a lot they can teach us about life, too.

Slot machines are just one example of a quick lesson on what’s in your control and what isn’t. You press one button or pull one lever and let a computer determine your fate. The only thing you can control once those tiles start turning is your reaction.

A lot of humans think hitting it big will change their life, but falling into money won’t intrinsically change who you are. That’s up to you.

Don’t let outside factors affect the health of your mind.
