What Is Your Applicable Strategy For Winning?
Life can be intimidating, especially when you understand that it's a competition, but envisaging it as a competition eventually kills the grind. The reason I deem it to be a competition is because we do not play by our rules.
For example, if an employee does not fix the time at which they have to get to work, an employer does. Now if you have other workers consistently coming to work early, while you're not.
It puts them in the prime position to be incentivized for their right attitude to work. Whether it's by increasing their pay it's by giving them stipends, or even putting them in prime position to be promoted.
Attaining Goals In A Competitive Setting
So, if you're aiming to achieve a certain goal that others are aiming to also achieve in a particular setting, then it becomes a competition. When people decide to go the extra mile in their life quests, it makes you who is taking it very slow, look like you're lazy or unserious.
When people decide to put in extra effort, it could be their individual strategy to win. Because we're differently blessed, we cannot collectively excel in everything we do. When I was in school I was terrible at sports.
This wasn't because I was naturally bad. I just couldn't compete because it required physical strength. I excelled at other things and the people who excelled at sports couldn't also excel at the things I was good at doing.
In life, everyone wants to win everything at every time
But if people are equipped to win without ceasing the world would be bereft of opportunities for everyone because some people would already be ahead and claimed all the opportunities.
Why?
By default, our minds are resilient. We're mentally wired to be champions, but our nature generally limits us. For example, a lady who has all the guile to be a beauty queen might realize a little bit of physical attribution is needed to win the prize.
Because of this, she backs down because she knows that in that department, she cannot excel. Even if the prize money is 20 million dollars. Reality might set in immediately when she sees the people she has to compete with.
Some Of The Most Important Ventures Things In Life Are Largely Competitive
While it's true that everything is not a competition, we have to understand that some of the most important things in life are hugely competitive, why?
Because they're precious, valuable, and incessantly scarce.
When things are valuable, everyone wants them. This creates scarcity. The reason is that humans are inherently insatiable so even if the world's resources are meant to be enough for everyone, our instability changes this, and we're back to struggling and finding the right strategies/hacks to compete.
Why do you think people need hacks? We all do because competing based on the ruleset of normalcy might not favor our diverse strengths and capacities.
This is why people choose to invent their strategies
Strategies are unique ways to beat the rules of the grind
Everyone is grinding, either we're doing it obviously or behind the curtain, whatever methods we apply are because we cannot afford the hassle of conventionality. The fact that a path is the way to a place, doesn't make it the only way.
Sometimes our minds are programmed to accept that there's only one way in life. But things like hunger and the quest for survival often help us realize that with the right strategies, we can get to where people are getting without needing their unique hacks and tips for success.
By All Legal & Reasonable Means
I use to watch a show on DSTV, it's titled MAN VS EXPERT. The show owner goes about challenging people who are better than him in different fields, but he ends up beating them at their game because these people rely on prowess and experience to win.
while he relies on counter strategies, cheating, and unconstitutional methods to win.
This isn't to say we have to choose illegality to beat the odds, it only means that we cannot win when the rules are not made by us, because the people who made some specific rules in competitive games, made them, never knowing if you'd compete or not.
For a long while now, I've been looking for ways to thrive without sinking myself psychologically.
One of the things we can never afford to lose is motivation.
.......If this is lost, all that's left is fear, uncertainty, and doubt. The ability to coin our individual strategies is mostly the best way to compete, we're inviting the game to play by our rules as well, because let's face it, we're not meant to win in everything we do.
The universe makes this so, but some people are reprogramming the rules of normalcy to bend the game in their favor. While this is evil ingenuity, it's the strategy that these people have coined to win.
You cannot approach life as a headless chicken
choosing to tow the path of others. For example, Inasmuch as crypto is meant to be largely profiting, many will still lose, why?
They have no individual strategy or strategies that are customized for and by them. Life might just continue to remain intimidating when we keep looking at how far we have to go, especially when we're late to the party.
