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. ITS BOTH NICE AND TOUGH ALL AT ONCE. I WONT STEP ON YOU, NUT I WONT BE YOUR DOORMAT EITHER. YOU CARE 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. ITS NOT EITHER YOU OR ME. ITS BOTH OF US. ITS 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 IS THE GOOD FEELINGS IT BRINGS ON. THE TRUE TEST WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE THINKING WIN-WIN OR ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES IS HOW YOU 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 AND SERENE THOUGHTS. IT WILL GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE  EVEN FILL YOU WITH LIGHT. THINK WIN-WIN OR NO DEAL.
