Main Game

As per usual I find food for thought in the weekly James Clear email.
"Before you worry about how to win the game, figure out whether the game is worth winning."
I do have an issue with one word in this and that is “worry”.  If I look up the meaning of worry it is “feel or cause to feel anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems.”  I think the word anxious is why I have a problem with worry.  When I consider synonyms for worry “unease” and “fear” come up.  To me neither in this context is healthy.
I do not pretend worry is an easy one to dismiss.  Yet I do contend that worry is never a helpful emotion.  Worry to me implies anxiety, unease, and fear.  It may seem to be just saying the same thing a different way but to me the word focus is better.  In this context “focus on.”
(This has got to be some sort of record.  I started this then had to go out.  Then someone came over.  Then I cleared a room in preparation for it being gutted.  Then I had lunch.  Then a rest and that was when I remembered this had not been posted.  So back again!!)
It is all about is the game worth playing.  My experience is there are sometimes things I am involved in for a time.  They are not the main game as it were but fill in or tide over games.
I think as liog as whatever I may do does not stand in the way of the “main game” for me, it is worth learning, playing and winning.  One thing I would really not like is in ..(I was going to say forty years time, but I would be 106 at that point and I do not know the future but I doubt I will be around then).  So really in any length of time I would not like to say I could not do what I really felt I should do, because I was doing something else.  To me the something else needs to be dealt with so I can learn, play, and win the main game.
So regarding the situation posed, some games are definitely not worth learning.  Others are a tide over and have something to teach, while some are the main game.  To me the main game is worth learning and winning.  The main game is the one I feel I was born for.
