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 the in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teens will learn to celebrate the accomplishment 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 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 benefic 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 the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud you judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Eve fill you with light. Thinking win-win or not ideal.
