Everyone has goals they want to achieve and we all want success. We can decide what we want, and then do what we must to make it ours. The options are limitless and what we do is completely up to us. It’s good to strive for what we want, and aim for success in all our dealings. We can only control our own lives, and have no power over any one else’s decisions. If we’re in competition with someone else over something we both want, we may decide we’ll do anything to win. We may feel we need to not only prevail, but crush whoever is on the other side. It won’t be enough just to win – we need the other guy to fail, and fail miserably. Finding joy in someone else’s demise may bring us momentary satisfaction, but it will do nothing to enrich or enhance our lives moving forward. Making others suffer will never bring us lasting happiness. Crushing our opponent and ensuring they never challenge us again only eliminates one player. There will always be a bigger fish, and we’re fools if we believe we’ll always win. We can do anything we like, but we are accountable for every decision. There is no free space in life where what we do doesn’t count. Everything counts. We can push ourselves to achieve, and win many different confrontations, but if we destroy others to get there, the victory will be hollow. There is no need to crush anyone to prove we are worth the prize. We can do our best and push forward, and allow others the same privilege. We have the potential to conquer great adversity, and overcome enormous challenges. By stepping forward with confidence, sure of success, and keeping our eyes on our own road, we will achieve every goal we desire. Nothing is beyond our reach, and there is great success ahead.
Sometimes competitions become personal. We not only try to out do the other competitors, but in the heat of the moment, may fall prey to criticism and ridicule in an effort to exert our dominance. Making others feel small may make us seem big, but the decisions we make, even in competition, decide what kind of people we are. We can understand that competition should be fair and open, and make good choices that move us ahead without degrading others. There is greatness in us all, and by honoring the talents of those around us and striving to be the best we can be, we will prevail and reach every goal.
In every contest, there is a winner and a loser. Sometimes people are concerned that the losers will feel bad, and decide to eliminate the winner and give everyone a participation trophy. That’s fine but unfortunately real life doesn’t work that way. All the roads ahead aren’t paved, and if we lose, nobody is going to give us a prize. Learning how to deal with losing gives us the skills we need to face disappointment and loss. We are strong and capable, and can certainly cope with missing the mark from time to time. By choosing to stay in the game, and continue trying, success will be ours and we will prevail.
Today if you’re determined to win and will do anything to crush your opposition, remember the person you most want to be. You have so much to offer and great gifts to give. Show us your light, and do your best. Everyone is embellished and uplifted because you are here. Be confident and sure. Every success is already there for you and you will prevail.
