Positioning Yourself to Win in the Game of Life!

Is it really possible to put yourself in a better position to win in the game of life? If so, how am I supposed to create this position of a winner and successful leader when I don't know what to do?

Wait a minute... Wait a minute... A thought is coming to me... I've learned somewhere that if you ask the right questions then eventually the right answers will surface. Maybe I've been asking myself the wrong questions. Maybe there doesn't have to be winners and losers in life. Maybe we can all cooperate and win a better, and higher quality of life for all of us.

Let's picture corks in an ocean... Can you see it? When the tide comes in, all of us corks rise together, and when the tide goes out all of us corks fall together. What? You don't want to be called a cork? Okay. You're a boat now. Can you picture all the boats rising and falling with the tide? Great! The point is: helping each other out is the answer to us all positioning ourselves to rise together as winners in this game of life!

I imagine positioning ourselves for cooperative winning starts with planning. We all need to stop being mentally lazy and invest the mental energy to plan out our winning cooperative strategy. In addition, everyone also needs to stop letting the human fear of scarcity control us. We all need to stop hoarding and realize that there is enough for all of us. Every one of us can help every other one of us to become more successful. If we do this we will all be in a better position to rise up and to win! Now I would call that real leadership, wouldn't you?

Now teens, go learn, lead and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember to position yourself to win in this game of life, as well as to help others position themselves to win too. And thanks in advance for all that you do, and all that you will do....
