Last Saturday, I was watching the Champions League final. After watching awhile, that got me thinking...
It's amazing how the sports industry is its own industry.
A universe with its stars, fans, awards, global events, and billions of dollars in revenue. According to Forbes, the sports industry is expected to reach $73.5 billion by 2019, just in North America.

In Europe, professional soccer stars are often criticized in the media for their 7 and 8 figure salaries. Despite this, their salaries are higher than ever.
Two things you won't find in professional sports are political and social considerations.
This universe is hermetic to anything going on in society and that pretty much explains why
it's such a successful industry.
This is very similar to how I encourage you to live life.
Create your own universe or planet with your own rules. For that, you must 'isolate' yourself
from the rest of society, particularly social issues.
The sports industry has only two focuses: the game and money.
This is why billions of people get sucked into sports.
It provides an escape from the real world while the industry gets extremely rich.
I could go on, with religion, for example.
As a matter of fact, in the US and some parts of Africa, religious organizations don't even pay taxes. They've managed to remove themselves from the normal realm of society. You and I pay taxes. But they don't.
They created their own universe, with believers who gladly tip each Sunday, allowing pastors to become ridiculously rich and fly in private jets all this, tax-free.
Nothing to feel resentful about, really. But a lot to learn from.
There is the reality that 90% of people share, and YOUR reality that you can deliberately create with your rules.
Have an amazing day!
