The Win or Lose…We Still Booze Blog – It’s Not What You Think!
Win or Lose…We Still Booze*
*I am not promoting drinking, excessive drinking, or hiding from what occurred. I am promoting positive, purposely-selected perspective.
A few years ago, a college student told me this saying of her campus during football season: Win or Lose…We Still Booze. I’m pretty sure it’s the saying, attitude, or behavior at many college campuses.
I like the saying because it provides perspective. It says that winning isn’t everything. It says that life goes on. It says, “We will continue enjoying life no matter what.”
While winning is fun and can have great beneficial results, it’s not the totality of life, and in this case, her particular campus’ life. In fact, Win or Lose…We Still Booze has I want to live a full life no matter what written all over it.
Circumventing Current Events
Win or Lose…We Still Booze is oozing an energy that circumvents the events to a level of living that supersedes drama, the hills and valleys, and the pulls at our heart strings. Yes, I love the breath of fresh air that Win or Lose…We Still Booze provides.
So we just had a HUGE election filled with draining drama, tons of negative mud-slinging, high fervor of emotions, and polarity like we’ve never have seen before. How can we have the Win or Lose…We Still Booze mentality no matter is we are pleased with the election results or not? It is a choice.
It’s choice to choose love over hate. It’s a choice to step up as a full living human to select the best that life has to offer no matter who is president. It is a choice to live life to the fullest by just doing that because anything else is a self-demeaning choice. Why give external events your power? Why mope, groan, bitch, complain…you get the idea…and give your power to bigger-than-you dramas?
Understanding Healthy Competition
For some people, they’re going to need something more to hang their hats on to even get a whiff of the pleasant smell of love. Healthy competition is a good possibility to achieve this.
Primarily, healthy competition is not what was on display during the 2024 election. Some of it was beneficial, however. I’ll explain: First, competition needs at least two sides. The 2024 election had that. Check.
Healthy competition needs one to be “ahead” of the other. Again, this attribute was present. Check.
Healthy competition needs to breed vision, ideas, new ways of being, and what is possible. Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
Despite all the hurtful rhetoric, the election bred vision, ideas, new ways of being, and what is possible. Aren’t we all thinking of how to do things better and different for the future no matter who voted for whom and who won? Yes!
The two (primary) sides of the election needed each other. What would a football game look like without the competition? It would be a boring game, indeed, if no one was chasing the quarterback. No one would watch if the receivers were unguarded and could easily catch the ball every time with each throw. Competition has its place. Healthy competition is beneficial to all.
No matter what, it’s time for us humans to step up and love with no excuses, reasons, or belief system attached. It’s time to love others no matter who they voted for or how they view life.
It’s time for untethered love. It’s time for unconditional love.
Those two statements can bring on anxiety so let’s discuss what they do and do not mean.
- These two statements do not mean that you allow others to take advantage of you.
- These two statements do not mean that you allow your own life to be damaged by loving others.
- They do not mean that you must help others in huge ways all the time as in the example of taking a homeless person home with you.
- They do not mean that you allow your own security to be jeopardized.
These two statements do mean:
- We can always send love in people’s direction no matter how they view life, what they are doing, and if it’s agreeable or not.
- We can decide to physically or financially help others when it is mutually beneficial, but can always send love.
- We can find something to love about the other people even if it is minimal such as that person makes me thankful for my ____________________ as in the case of a homeless person cleaning your car’s windows despite you not wanting it to be done. This scenario can make one feel thankful for one’s job, home, education, family, etc. and therefore send love of the person who is highlighting your good fortune/better life situation.
How To Send Unconditional Love
Synopsis: The real, tangible positive effects of this action are legit. It’s not fluffy nonsense. We are energetic beings and are capable of sending emotional daggers or love. It’s a choice.
Sending love is reflective. As you love, you receive love. And, the opposite is true. As you send anything less than love, you receive less than love because We Are All One. For more information about ONENESS, see my other books or contact me via my website.
The following sending love snowball protocol I learned from Edwin Harkness Spina of https://mysticwarrior.us/about/. A video of Edwin demonstrating this technique can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tl0B23Ap3U.
- Visualize the person standing in front of you. If it is person you detest, visualize the person as an orb or ball of light in front of you. If this option is a challenge, ask an angel to stand in front of you to be the giver of the ball of love to the person.
- Gather the energy of pure, positive love with sweeping motions of your arms toward the “person” in front of you.
- While gathering/swooping the energy with repeated arm movements, state something like, “I’m gathering pure, positive, divine love. I’m gathering pure, positive, divine love.”
- “See” a ball of love in front of you going into the “person” in front of you. Repeat until you feel it is complete.
- Repeat the process as needed.
This technique is one of many to step up and love others globally. It is real. We All Are One and all are part of The All so what we send out is sent and returned. We humans must choose love despite anything and everything. THIS is how to truly transform the world. It can be done right now. It can be done exactly where you are. You can do this from your bed, chair, workplace, and home.
We all have people who have hurt us, betrayed us, and left us behind. Sending love to them in this way IS stepping up and sending love…because they need it. If they were filled with love, the actions of hurting, betraying, and leaving would never happen. These are actions that are done from a place of lack of love. Sending love to them begins the process of 1. releasing them from your life, and 2. their personal healing journey back to love.
Tying this back to Win or Lose…We Still Booze, have your automatic response to others being less than pure love be a love response. As in the case of the football game’s outcome, the students knew they were going to enjoy their time no matter what. They already had an automatic response ready to go. Make love your automatic response because…
- Car rage becomes an opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- Legal battles are opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- Divorce proceedings are opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- A failed friendship is an opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- A relationship breakup of any kind is opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- A hurricane is opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- An unexpected bill is opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- A weird neighbor is opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- A challenging teacher you child deals with is opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
- A spouse who cheated is opportunity for sending the snowball of love.
Choosing to send love instead of judgement is profound. Think of what the world would be if people chose to send love to each other instead of I don’t like what you said, did, or stand for energy. Think of what the world would be if people created snowballs of love to send instead of bullets. It is transformational, indeed.
