That’s a fantastic memory aid for this concept, much appreciated! Crafting games in general give ample examples to internalize this kind of bootstrap mentality. Also for quickly scaling to the next anvil-equivalent. As you touched upon, real life has a deep crafting tree, with anvil problems upon anvil problems.
Something that took me far too long to learn, if you got your anvil, but still don’t find yourself were you want to be, it pays to find the next anvil problem quickly. If you still have a lot of distance to cover, don’t get bogged down by things that won’t get you the next anvil-equivalent.
In a certain way, relationships have their own anvils. There are thresholds of trust, communication modes, that take investment. However, they also unlock completely new options, particularly when addressing challenges or navigating high-stress situations.
I sometime notice, in me and others, a neglect to do serious work on relationships during good times, then lacking the tools to handle difficulties when they arise.
