It’s About the Journey, Not the Destination

“Go! Go! Go!”

Do you ever play with that one person that just thinks it’s all about winning. They don’t have much fun do they? They are all stressed out and aren’t always fun to be around. People will try to avoid them and think they aren’t good enough because of them. Winning isn’t everything. It’s all about having a good time!

The first reason winning isn’t everything is fun. There is no point in things if you don’t have fun. Having fun is just as good as winning! Sometimes, it’s about the journey, not the destination. Once I entered a cupcake contest, but I lost. Even though I didn’t win, I still had a great time! That was the best part!

The second reason winning isn’t everything is that some people are just too competitive. If you are too competitive, it’s not fun for you OR the other people. Yes, competitive people win more often, but how much fun did the have? They sit there with there little pouty faces and bad attitude all mad that people aren’t doing well and that they’re gonna lose, but the rest of their teammates, they’re having a grand old time on the field because they believe that winning isn’t everything! I mean, I don’t know about you, but I don’t like playing with people who are all about winning.

The third and final reason winning isn’t everything is that it takes your mind off of things and stresses you out. If all you are thinking about is winning, then you can’t concentrate on what is actually happening. Also, it just stresses you out. I was playing my soccer game this weekend and I was upset because I was thinking winning is everything, but then I realized that I wasn’t having any fun. I forgot about winning and just had fun! And guess what, we ended up winning 7 to 4 because I could actually concentrate. This just proves it.

Even though winning is fun, You can’t win every time. Sometimes the other team needs to learn how to win. I mean seriously, what’s the point of even participating if you’re stressed out and upset the whole time. If you still think winning is everything then I don’t know what is going through your head, but I do know this: “It’s about the journey, not the destination.”
