Sports fans love to see their favorite teams win.

But above all, we want to see a good game.

The best wins aren’t the lopsided blowouts; they’re the nail-biting, last-second, hard-fought victories.

Thrilling. Satisfying. Memorable.

We can seek to live our lives — or at least parts of our lives — in the same way. Not choosing the paths without friction, but instead seeking an appropriate level of challenge and adversity.

Set yourself up for some good wins. More specifically, embrace the kind of adventures that have the possibility of delivering either a win or a loss. Victories under those circumstances are especially sweet.
