Winning in No-Win Situations

No-win situations feel like running on a hamster wheel. Running faster multiplies frustration.

Include discomforting people in your relationship circle.

A kick in the pants is often more useful than a pat on the back (especially if you are already excelling).

Ask a stranger what they are great at. Follow up with, “How did you get great at that?”
