When you think of a “winner” who, or what, do you think of? Is there a specific person? A goal attained? A particular level of success? Winner means many things to many people.
For many, the word winner brings to mind a person who works hard, is dedicated, perseveres no matter how large the obstacles, values commitment, has drive, vision and above all, has a passion for whatever he or she does. It is the passion for your chosen goal that will keep a winner moving forward.
How can you be a winner? Begin by visualizing what step you need to attain to consider it a “win” for your particular goal. If you can see the end goal, you have something toward which to strive. Write down the steps you need to take to reach your goal. The time you spend now will help you achieve your ultimate win! Keep your steps toward the goal both manageable and measurable. How will you know if you’ve arrived if you don’t know the steps it will take to make it there?
Now that you know what your goal is, it’s time to think like a winner. If you believe you are a winner, you can make it happen. Some people give up on their dreams when they’ve had a couple of failures or if they start to think they aren’t smart enough or worthy enough to be a winner. The power of positive thinking cannot be over estimated.
Regardless of what your goal is, you won’t make it to your goal if you’re not willing to put in the work. Winners work hard to get where they are and if you want to join their ranks you need to be willing to put in the hours to make it happen.
Mark off the steps you’ve attained along the way toward your winning goal. Celebrate the steps you’ve made. Celebrate your ability to be a winner.
