Self-focused advances don’t tend to fair us well.
Experiencing failure in advance is a waste of time.
Celebrating too early often bites us in the behind.
Worrying and having expectations makes for more harm than help.
However, planning in advance for another; thinking about what the target may want and feel; being grateful for another’s impending success; covering the tab with hopes they’ll get you back later – these are all worth doing in advance.
While selfish advances don’t tend to fair us well, selfless advances sure do.
In fact, they fair others well, too.
Stay Positive & Win Win
