When we have nothing, it’s easy to play to win.
This brings out our competitive edge; it’s based on courage.
But when we achieve what we originally wanted, it’s easy to shift into playing not to lose.
This suppresses our best; it’s based on fear.
Perhaps the next level is playing to play.
Leaning in just because we have an inner need to do the work.
Perhaps that’s when we do our truly best work.
