In reference to strategy and approach, you will often encounter reasons on why you must play the long game.
Emphasis is placed on foresight and the ability to correctly choose multiple next moves.
All in all, anything regarded as the "short game" is still a part of the greater story at play.
Every action we take has consequences of varying order, ranging from immediate to delayed.
This fact is what shapes the life we live as it is and the life we are set to live moving forward.
Internalizing this and taking it into account constantly is how we move to live the life we wish to.
Therefore, everyone is technically playing the "long game", but only a few are truly paying attention.
