I think there are the type of people and this does represent quite a lot of people who have a problem cashing in.
Cashing in is generally accepted as being the situation where you take an asset or a savings account or the pot of money under your bed and then spend it and start again rebuilding the asset or the savings account or the pot of money.
But cashing in applies across our lives in many directions.
Cashing in can be your goodwill account with someone else.
A situation where you feel it is essential that you do the right thing, therefore straining a relationship in order to do the right thing, hoping that you have enough goodwill in the pot that you'll be able to start again.
Cashing in also occurs in terms of fitness.
If we work to walk our first ever 10K or to climb a hill for charity or any other number of projects that we would undertake to inspire us, it's first important to train, then relax, then cash in, then start again.
Race day in endurance sport is where we cash in.
It also applies obviously to our money situations, but there is no point in sitting on a dragon's hoard of all the money you can find while continuing to work as hard as you can to increase that hoard without in one way or another cashing in.
Spending the money on you or probably better, on something or someone else, gives you the opportunity to reset, restart and go again.
Running hard for the entirety of your life to build the biggest pot you possibly can in fitness or goodwill, or cash is most likely a fool's game.
