Play Fairly and Win
LIFE IS A GAME. YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER LEARN OR LOSE. These are the words shared with me by one of my mentors many years ago. I made up in my mind that I was going to learn. I don’t want to live a life where I can win without taking time to study how to win.
I’m aware there are many people who are not taking the time to learn the game of life.
It is important you understand, life is a game just like all the other games. The difference is, life is the only game we usually do not realize is a game. Each of us has decided, largely unconsciously, a set of rules based on our worldview and our beliefs. We think our rules are right and inherently true. One of the questions I ask my coaching clients is, how is that working for you?
How is that world view working for you?
How is that’s just what I believe working for you?
Life is a series of games. Sometimes you LOSE, sometimes you WIN. The principle I have to ask you is, are you learning when you’re losing and are you aware of what’s helping you to win? Many of us know this and yet, we often keep playing games we lose. I ask all of my clients, why not play to win? Don’t you enjoy winning? I do. You know what I don’t like? Losing. Yep you read that correctly, I don’t like losing.
I don’t mind losing a few games, but overall, I WANT TO WIN. I'm guessing, if you're reading this blog and are on your journey to living live effectively, you’re not any different. I’ve never met a person who said, “I love to lose.” As you learn to live life effectively, you are learning to have more wins in the game of life.
I’ve noticed, people who pretend they don’t mind losing, gave up on life years ago. I get it. Life is hard and when you lose a lot, you can become numb. That’s why this concept is so important.
Winning ain’t easy. There’s little room at the top. But, it doesn’t mean you can’t be at the top of your game. Decide to win! Life is a game and you might as well decide to win.
Please remember, that every game has rules. Obey the rules, win the game; disobey the rule, lose the game. The game of life has loser and winners. Play fairly and win!
