This one took me a lifetime to learn, and it's still hard for me sometimes because instinctively I am hyper competitive. We are talking "I'll study up if I know we are playing Bananagrams on Friday night" type of competitive. If you would have said something like this to me just a year ago I'd have smiled politely but thought to myself you need to go grab your ticket back to the land of unicorns, rainbows, and bedazzled cell phones with big bunny ears, because you are not living in reality with the rest of us.
But hear me out: we are truly all in this together. Each of us goes through the ebbs and flows of life. When you are flowing, why not lift someone else up there with you? We gain far more from working with each other, supporting each other, and even, at times, challenging one another to think critically through collaboration than we do through competition. There do not need to be winners and losers in life. And the way to make that happen is to work together. That's my challenge to you for now, and I know it's a tough one!
Keep on rocking with your awesome selves.
