Cause and Effect, Result and Feedbacks

I remember reading a book written by Jack Welch, he talk about his youth days that he likes playing ice hokey, there was a time when he had a bad season, and were loosing, he would feel bad and frustrated, he would throw the hokey stick or vent out his anger through violent gestures, if my memory do not fail me I remember once he said that his mother came into the locker room concerned about her son’s emotional condition and ask him what is happening, and what is all the commotion and throwing of the hokey stick about, he just answered back that, he was frustrated he that he is loosing, his mother then stood up with both of her hands on her hip and gave him a lecture on winning, what was essentially communicated from Jack Welch’s mother to him was (as I understand it) “If you can’t take the pressure of loosing then don’t play, now be a man and decide if you want to continue playing the game.”

“In this world the concept loosing is really absurd and quite an impossible feat”, because there is always the law of “Cause and Effect”, when you play a game or compete in something, not matter what the result of the competition is, you always gain something.

There is only one ground rule for you to always gain something from the results of your competition and that is “You must authentically compete with your opponent”, cause if you compete authentically and if you humble yourself to experience and learn from the result of the competition, you will always win.

“The result of any action is the effect that you have previously caused”, result is just a result, and the result is not you, nor does it reflect who you are as a person, results exists from a moment to moment basis, it exists in a only in a particular moment of time (usually the past, future results are either called forecast or goals), results are feedback and there are no such things as good or bad results, just like feed back, they are always neutral, they exists solely to tell us where we are on the playing field, so that we are aware, and when aware we are empowered by will and choice. When we are empowered by choice, we can make a decision to continue competing or quit. One person can only truly loose if one is not aware of that the result that he/she is getting is totally attributed by one’s cause. That my friend is the ultimate failure and that is a real way to loosing, because if one is not aware of one’s actions and its causes, then for every instance of an unfavorable result one would be so emotionally involved with it, that one would miss whole point and the learning from the unfavorable result .
