31:18 Share

What is victory? How do we know when we've "won?" What does it mean to win in life? How do we define that in our own personal lives?

In this episode of Warrior: The Art of War for Life, we dive deep into Chapter 4.3 of Sunzi’s Art of War, extracting profound principles for defining and achieving our own greatest victories in life. Join us as we explore these four principles:

**1. Envision A Personal Victory that Surpasses the Norm!**Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Defining our own greatest victory means envisioning a future that surpasses societal norms, a vision rooted in our deepest desires and talents.

**2. Fight for What You Want, Not What Everyone Else Says is Best for You!**Your path is unique. No one knows your dreams and fears better than you. Fight for what resonates with your soul, for therein lies your greatest victory—a treasure no one can take away!

**3. Don’t Settle for Being A Big Fish in a Little Pond!**Sunzi advises us not to be content as the "big fish in a little pond." Easy wins are stepping stones, not destinations. Embrace discomfort, swim in the vast ocean of possibilities, and shatter the confines of your comfort zone.

4. The Greatest Personal Victories can be the Accumulation of Little VictoriesVictory isn’t always a grand, singular achievement. It's the culmination of small wins. Sunzi emphasizes the importance of having a grand overarching strategy comprised of small tactical victories—little wins pave the way for significant triumphs.

Join us in this episode as we explore these principles, empowering you to envision, explore, expand, engineer, and experiment with your own personal path to personal victories that redefine the norm.
