Winning isn't everything...

People that are ultra competitive, like myself, always need to win and when we don't we end up enjoying things less. If I lose then I am very disappointed, even mad, and if I win it's what I expected anyway so I don't get the joy I should have felt from victory. So what to do? Don't let things like games, or people, or anything of the sort rob you of even one second of joy in your life. You have no control over their ability or competence so don't bet on 'em coming through for you. Just enjoy it for what it is-- it is supposed to be a good time! Peace.
