Feb 25 The Winner Ladder

For those who live by the Winner Ladder, life is like a sports tournament, where everything is a competition.
The Winner Ladder is a powerful influence on many of us, perhaps most of us. We spend a lot of energy worrying about whether we measure up.
We have many ways of measuring whether or not we’re winners:
we compare positions on a career ladder, or we compare looks;
we measure our status by money or possessions;
we judge others by the car they drive.
Even dying is for losers – those who live longer are winners.
For the Winner Ladder, you are not judged by who you are, but instead by what you drive or how you look. Your position on the ladder defines you.
The Winner Ladder is an obstacle to peace for many.
Today think about one area of your life where you worry about whether you measure up.
For a few minutes, look at it objectively. Does it seem a little silly to worry about this?
