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 benefit 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 alternative is how you feel. Win-Lose and
Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
Win-Win will
fill you heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence.
Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.
