Habit 4

4. Think Win- Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You are about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself , and you want to succeed as well. Win-win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-win or one of the alternatives is how feel. Win- Lose and Lose- Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-win will fill your heart with happy serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-win or no deal.
