4. Think win-win
Teens can learn to foster the
belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every
relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or
situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen
will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being
threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win.
It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your
doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But
you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is
abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s
not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the
biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an
all-you-can-eat buffet.
Win-Win always creates more.
Perhaps the most surprising benefits of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings
it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one
of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud
your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
Win-Win will fill your heart with
happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill with light.
Think Win-Win or no deal.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT
