Winning One More
Winning One More
I coach JV football. We frequently talk about “finding a way to win”. Depending on who they are playing against they need to try different techniques and strategies to win. A particular strategy might win them one more play. A different one might win them another. They will lose some for sure. But six-out-of-ten is success.
Do we hold out for 100% satisfaction? We wait for the big job. The big fix. The high point. We can’t see it happening, it doesn’t work, we wait some more.
Win just one more. What can you do this week in your job that makes you just 10% more content? Is there something in your relationship that can get you another 10%? Maybe a new habit can get you another 10.
I would take 30% more goodness. The way to win big is through small victories.
