Did You Win?

Mike MonahanBy Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars Inc.


Did you buy a ticket for last week's Mega Millions lottery? Well, the results are in. And it got me thinking about the concept of winning.


In one year, do you think you will feel like a winner? If you feel like a winner, is it at another's expense? Or does it benefit the greater good?


One of the apps we talk about in Life Success's Basic seminar is win/win. As a concept, it's pretty easy to grasp. But when you look at your daily actions, win/win is much more difficult to implement.


Win/win takes a lot of trust that both sides will step up and do the right thing. The real challenge is when the other team doesn't do the right thing. But is that a good reason to quit?


Did you win or loose? Or did you do the right thing?
