YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WINNER

Animals don't have winners and losers

They have survivors and alphas

The alpha of a relatively small group

Survival can be a matter of skill, luck

Being in the right place at the right time

Winning and losing are human concepts

Perhaps based on ego needs

Which renders it an almost worthless concept

For the most part, yet humans place value on winning

We have sports, gaming, races, contests

Meant to showcase and reward winners

Unless one is a gambler

Sports wins and loses are purely entertainment

We can't switch our egos off, but we can redirect it

From competing with others

To competing with our performance yesterday

This is a healthy encouraging competion 

You are already a winner because you survived

We live in both the human world and the natural world

While our animal selves struggle to survive 

Our human selves can choose who we compete with 

And why.
