Winning - The Random Sunday Nonsense Series 3

How important is winning to you?
It used to be everything for me until a couple of years ago. I had to win..and as far as I remember I mostly did too. But somewhere down the line I realized something strange..
Knowing that you can win is as good as winning itself. Sometimes you dont really need to beat someone, or come on top of everyone else. But you can quietly let someone else win, see their smile, and yet, enjoy the victory yourself.
Of course, there are still moments when your soul doesn't give you any points for second place. But beyond those moments, you realize the shortness of life. The all important message is to live the life, and not worry too much about the end. Because we do not know when or where the end will be.
I remember a painting in my old house.. Of a boat in the sea..with just the sun in the background.. Below it was a note "Go as far as you can see..when you get there, you will be able to see further.."
Good night folks..
