I believe you have to find whatever "floats the boatI" to get to that place. That’s an interesting take on “beating” — winning.

I have a friend who makes a list everyday of all the activities she wants to accomplish and tracks the time each day it takes to complete these activities. She enjoys being competitive with herself trying to finish faster than the day before. The way she helps/expands herself is with self competition which works very well for her. Competition can be a very strong motivator for inividuals and I remember my friend everytime I read or hear someone say they want to beat their illness or win their life back. As a coach I offer ways to expand the persons view of winning to include learning what they need and how to 'win' by doing and what helps them. Often this includes having the strength to say to others I need help for this activity or function and to ask with the ease to asked for any office equipment or supplies. Winning or beating is the unerstanding we reach when living/doing in or lives becomes the thought. What next great idea or talent can we share with a little help. ‘Winning’ and ‘beating’ are words that spark competition for me.
