Now I must admit that I love to win. Who doesn't, right? Then, there are those occasion when I have to stop and ask myself what exactly did I win? This depends on what the fight is all about. Many times in the end I find that I'm not even sure that the use of my energy in the fight was worth all the hoopla.
If I'm fighting to win big bucks, I mean really big bucks( like millions) then I'd say that any amount of time and energy used in gaining that prize was a good deal. However, since that's not the case in let's say oh about 99.9% of all of my situations where I'm losing my mind, then I guess I'm just a loser.
Loosing has different value to each of us and for me the idea of being the loser in any fight, well just doesn't sit well with who I think I am.Yet, when all is said and done in the battle of control sometimes I simply have to stop and ask is this really worth all the fuss? I mean really?
I always want to be a winner, but not every thing in life is about whether or not I come out on top. Sometimes it's about how well can I handle myself and still remain dignified. Learning to let "it" go, stop trying to always be in charge and just understanding that life will continue whether or not you win the fight. This is a great lesson to learn, isn't it?
Deciding if the end results is worth anything of value. I would rather lose the argument, walk away with my pride intact, realizing that it really is better to understand that you win some, you lose some.
Nothing changes who I am inside unless I decide to give up being me and that's not likely to happen anytime soon. Win or lose, I'm still me and that in itself has value that you simply can't buy or put a price on.. Now that's the real victory in life, Maintaining self value. That's a win everybody can live with..
