Competition as Heart Disease
"We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world."

Mark Twain is quoted as saying; "Sorry for the long letter, I didn't have time for a short one."
I received some helpful criticism last week. One of my readers suggested I make my posts shorter. I figured that others must also feel the same way, so I have decided to cut my many words in half. I will keep all
posts for the next month or so to less than 450 words. Please share your feedback with me and if that is your preference, I will do my best to keep it short every week.

In this Post...
Our culture is defined by competition. Many people derive their identity by it. We've all seen how competition
can be a great thing but have you ever considered what is really behind a "poor sport?" We train our kids to see the world as a binary system of winners and losers. In business, sports, education, religion, and dating we have developed a chronic form of heart disease, known as otherness. In this post, I share that the solution is not the abandonment of competition, but applying the single greatest
principal of life.
"I bring clarity to profound ideas so that people can be transformed by a new perspective."
