One Winner

I love watching
the competitive TV shows,
shows searching for
the best singer,
the best makeup artist,
the best apprentice,
etc.

In these shows,
officially, there’s one winner.

In reality,
all of the contestants
make connections
and receive publicity
they can leverage
into their own version of success.
They could all be winners.

That’s our reality too.
In the competition of the colas,
between Pepsi and Coca-Cola,
both companies won.
They both received more sales.

In a recent writing company
I finaled in,
all of the writers received more publicity
and increased books sales.

There isn’t one single winner
in life.
Beating others shouldn’t be
our sole focus.
