The best way to win is to help other people to win.
What does it feel like to win? Your heart is filled with joy and the neurons in your mind are popping. Ideas come faster than you can write them down; or a great wave of creativity.
How do you come to this state of being? The fastest path to joy, is service.
Listen carefully to another's pain or joy and be totally non-judgemental. Instead, sooth their pain with love, and encourage their joy by joining in with them.
Take the stance that you have no need to be "right", and let the other person win. You will be the winner also, as your heart lifts with joy at their delight.
When you help another person grow, your own heart grows like the Grinch's. A little door in your heart springs open and love comes rushing out. Your face lights up and people perceive you as a friend. Rich, bubbling joy makes you laugh out loud. That is the win: a new friend and this joy.
How do YOU feel about this subject? Have you also experienced this phenomenon? Or do you feel that leaving your heart so open is inviting more pain into your life? Of course, it is, you would be opening yourself up to the risk of rejction or ridicule. But the joy of helping other people to win makes the whole of life worthwhile and for that, it is worth taking the risk.
