Most of us love victory. We aim to win, conquer and overcome. But which battles give us a real victory?
For example, if you win an argument, let’s say that you know some information which makes you right or you are able to show your force upon another person and in turn they give up, is this a real victory?
Maybe you have an idea of the “correct” outcome and you argue, fight, and convince another person until they agree and in turn they let you have your desired outcome. My question to you is, is this really a victory ? Is a show of force upon another really wining ?
What if those battles with other people are only a reflection of the real battle. The one you have with yourself. If there is one battle in which a victory is more meaningful is one in which you triumph over your inner struggles, a true victory is one in which your fears fuel your drive. A true victory is one where you believe in yourself when one else does. A true victory is one where you love without expectation.
A true victory is one in which you lead with your heart and not with your ego.
While we will often have battle with other people keep in mind that you are not a bigger person by making someone feel small. If you are going to fight someone, fight your laziness, fight your procrastination, fight your self doubt, fight your insecurities, fight your shortcomings.
Each time you do, feel the rush of excitement of experiencing a real victory. !
