You Win in Life by Living Life, No Matter What
You are worthy and deserving of getting the win.
A lot of the narrative in the world today is all about the win. You’re a winner or a loser. Take this side, you’re a winner; take that side, you’re a loser. Be like that guy you will win; be like that guy you will lose.
This comes with a huge number of false equivalences, outright lies, and distractions. Then, a lot of impressions get made that create unnecessary competition, division, nastiness, and worse.
The truth is that nobody but you knows what you need/desire for your life. What gets me going might be of no interest to you at all and vice versa. The other big truth is that life is not a competition.
For those sitting in the back, I repeat: LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION. Baseball, a wrestling match, a spelling bee — these are competitions. The job market, finding lovers, grocery shopping, education, and most other everyday life experiences are not competitions.
The only way to lose is to not live. What does that look like? You let life beat you down, accept you have zero control or power, and choose to be a victim and/or a punching bag.
When you live, you win. You win in life by living life, no matter what.
