What are you doing with your life right now? Why? How? Are you Winning? Do you even know what that means?
One of my favorite interactions on a completely surface level - if your buying groceries, going through a drive in, interacting with your co-workers -
"Hey, how are you?" they ask -
"Im winning" I reply
this will almost always be received with some level of dumb downed what???? winning at what?
Now my friends for the most part have gotten used to this - but time and time again Im shocked how this trivial interaction, even at the grocery store will challenge the persons understanding of what the heck am i doing with my life?
You see people want to be a Maximums, an MLK, a Lebron - people dream and aspire to live a life of impact, but few people have the courage and discipline to build a life where they can impact on a large scale cultural level.
Grab an autobiography on one of your heroes - any one - you will read about countless opportunities where they took on the challenges of the day or week. You will find a series of fights that they showed up for, health issues, family challenges, financial shortcomings, moral failure...you will find that these heroes of ours took on the day by running into the tension head on, embracing it and forcing it to succumb one day at a time.
Ask yourself the question - "Where can I win today?"
The answer to that question, everyday, will gradually lead you to take on your biggest fears, insecurities and brokeness...
Choose to live with courage and dominate them...it will build in you a paradigm that will have significant cultural impact
