happiness comes when you win the game you get an A on our exam your number comes up in the lottery and then it goes away joy is something more underlying The things that you will do, you will not necessarily enjoy. but the question is, do you have a sense that they are a part of something bigger? That's where the value and the joy comes from you don't get to like every day but you do get to love every day you don't like your children every day but you love your children every day we've created this unrealistic expectation that every day at work has to be amazing like every day of your relationship has to be amazing and every day in your friendship has to be amazing it's an unfair standard to put on a human being it's an unfair standard to put on an organisation Don't seek happiness happiness will happen here and there Seek joy and that comes from - relationships - belonging - cause (src: [[video-the-infinite-game-how-to-lead-in-the-21st-century-simon-sinek....

the only true competitor in an infinite game, is yourself but what you have to have is a worthy rival - someone who is better than you in your own industry - or in another industry, who is better at something you do and instead of hating them and trying to beat them and trying to outdo them we learn from them, we admire them, we respect them because by revealing to us our weaknesses, it gives us tools to go back and see where we need to improve the goal is not to beat them the goal is to simply improve and stay in the game (src: [[video-the-infinite-game-how-to-lead-in-the-21st-century-simon-sinek....
