Life’s Checkpoints

Checkpoints Exist for a Reason Games teach one underrated lesson about progress.

In video games, you don’t restart from the beginning every time you fail. You restart from

the last checkpoint. Because the game assumes you learned something on the way there.

Life works the same way. Every failure still moves you forward — even if it doesn’t

feel like it. Progress isn’t erased by setbacks. It’s saved quietly in experience,

skills, and perspective. You’re not starting over. You’re just loading

from your last checkpoint.
