Statistically speaking, life defeats most people by the standards of whatever they define as their finite game. You may be in the minority that beat the house, but buy some infinite game insurance. Continuing to play will at some point become the main challenge, not winning.

I suppose another way to think of it is as a complicated mid-game as in chess with no theories, fewer big picture things to say and more plain grinding through to the end game which is of course easy since you can’t win that one 😆

Not just statistically. The infinite-game impulse compels one to redefine victory to be that which has yet to be attained.
