The best things in life aren’t free- the best things are win- win.
And here’s the best part- you get to control that.
We have to seek them win wins though- we have to look for them. I found one today I can’t wait to share with you:
The apple CarPlay in my car drops out sometimes. I’m not sure why- but it’s SUPER annoying. The last few times it happened, my face almost melted off I was that annoyed.
So this morning I had a plan. I popped my AirPods within easy reach and set off in my car. My Lenny Kravitz song was only in the first verse when CUT! my CarPlay stopped working.
Without missing a beat I put my AirPod’s in and continued listening to the man, the myth, the Lenny.
Win. Win.
If my CarPlay works- GREAT! I get to groove and the whole world can hear. If it drops out GREAT! I get to have a private ear drum party with my favourite songs.
This is how we must approach life. Set yourself up to win no matter the outcome. We can do this by manipulating our physical world (like the CarPlay situation). Or we can do it by reframing the outcomes to mean more empowering things for ourselves; “if this happens it’s good because X, and if that happens it’s good because Y.”
The best things in life are win win.
