I've heard it said that it takes about eleven years of dedicated study and practice to gain mastery of something. So, if you start at age 11 and you live to be 88, then you could master seven different things. You could have seven distinct lives.
Imagine having a mastery of Norse history, electrical engineering, culinary arts, still having half your life left to learn even more.
What makes it more exciting is that not every skill has to stop. You may eventually take an injury that prevents you from breakdancing, but being able to tell stories can be done as long as you can communicate. So even if you have seven lives, one does not have to end for the next to start. Similarly, you need not study only one thing at a time.
You could live more than seven lives if you put in the effort to master multiple skills simultaneously.
