The insight in this snip is about the concept of playing an infinite game in life, instead of playing someone else's game by their fixed rules. It highlights the idea of never feeling satisfied with 'enough' and always striving for 'just a little bit more'. The speaker emphasizes the importance of genuine appreciation and perspective on one's achievements, rather than constantly focusing on what hasn't been accomplished. The concept of an infinite game is introduced, where the goal is to play as long as possible, embracing ever-changing rules and finding joy and engagement in the process, rather than limiting oneself to a fixed set of rules.
