Life Is Not A Zero-Sum Game
A zero sum game is one where one person or team wins while the other person or team loses. The gain of one side is the loss of the otehr side. In games like football, soccer or chess this is fine. However, in the game of life trying to live as though your existence were a zero sum game is, in the end, self-defeating. We are all in this together. When we look at the world about us today we see the effects of the zero sum mentality. The markets are pitted against the consumers. Countries are pitted against one another. The strength of one country is measured by the weakness of another. When we move from a "win-lose" mentality to a "win-win" mentality, we find sources of aid and strength almost miraculously coming into our life to help us realizing our goals. When we seek the greater good - for ourselves and others - we find that our goodness comes, often in greater quantities than we would have imagined. Move from the "us versus them" mindset and enter into the "we" mentality. See how your goals can serve a greater good. In the process of seeking to be of service to something greater than yourself, you will find forms of abundance raining down upon you in all areas of your life. 2008-07-20 22:49:21 GMT
