Think Like A Winner

In every seed there is the promise of a forest. You can be as great as you want to be, your future is in your hands

George Bernard Shaw’s words “Life is not a brief candle to me, it is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations, motivate winning ideals.

If you want to get results that winners get, you must think like a winner thinks.

Thinking like a winner means believing you have the courage, determination, dedication and a competitive drive. It means sacrificing the little things in life and a willingness to pay the price for the things that are worthwhile to you.

Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future, but right now.  Realise that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you back in any way.

Dr Walter Doyle Staples author of Think like a winner writes, “There are ten core beliefs that are unique to all peak performing men and women."

Consider each one carefully, and imagine what your world would begin to look like if you held the same beliefs and made them a part of your life today

1. Winners are not born, they are made

2. The dominant force in your existence is the thinking you engage in

3. You are empowered to create your own reality

4. There is some benefit to be had from every adversity

5. Each one of your beliefs is a choice

6. You are never defeated until you accept defeat as a reality, and decide to stop trying

7. You already posses the ability to excel in at least one key area of your life

8. The only real limitations on what you can accomplish in your life are those you impose on yourself

9. There can be no great success without great commitment

10. You need the support and cooperation of other people to achieve any worthwhile goal

Now that you know how to think like a winner, you can begin to be a winner. You can break through the success barrier simply by selecting your target and pursuing it with all your talents and abilities, and all the energy at your command.

It is through your thoughts that you can enrich your life and control your destiny. You can rise to any height, and find peace, happiness, and unlimited power within you.

You can become all that you want and deserve to be. Ultimately, it all depends on your manner of thinking. There is immense power in believing, for believing is the dynamic force that forges our potential into winning actions.

You are unique. Your particular footprint has never walked on the face of the earth before and never will again. Nor will another voice sing out encouragement and praise to people with the particular sound and characteristics of the voice you possess.

Dream what you dare to dream! Do what you dare to do! Be what you dare to be, for the sky is the limit
