I had an interesting insight yesterday as we were playing cards. We have fun psyching each other out with, "I feel hot -- I am going to win!" "Oooo, I have the BEST cards. There is no way you can beat me." etc. We giggle and tease and have fun. Well, yesterday, I noticed she was out-psyching me. I was nervous and began playing to minimize my points for when she won. I was no longer playing to win, but playing to minimize damage.
How often do you do that, especially in your fear area? You aren't playing all out with the assumption of triumph, you are holding back, hoping to minimize the damage.
Play to win. Play to succeed. Play so you can live up to your fullest capacity. That's how to live your
Extraordinary Life!
