It is not that everybody wants to be a winner, it is that nobody wants to be a loser.
Still more spiritual growth promises win-win, the reasoning mind is in it to win it which explains the hold-back for accepting a win-win situation...the reasoning mind cannot accept that there can be two equal winners.
What is important to recognize unto realization is that the reasoning mind is the home of our ego-victory thinking. Still more spiritual growth is a higher consciousness level, deeper. Win-win to the spiritually based mind equates to peace...to a loving mind, for all to be happy, joyous and free.
The reasoning mind wants what the spiritually based mind gives, but it wants to get it and to be the winner at the same time. This is no more evident than in petty disagreements between friends...the more shallow the disagreement, the deeper the resistance to giving over.
I sometimes believe that the hardest thing life is ever going to ask of us is to just change our mind. There's an old cliché, "Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?" I am constantly amazed at the twisted logic that we can come up with to get right and happy at the same time...which is, of course, possible if we're willing to "settle" for happy.
Thank You.
