When you understand yourself you win.
Everyone is playing a different game and everyone is trying to win.
Some people know what game they are playing and some people don’t.
Some people know they are playing a game and some people don’t.
Some people know they are a player and some people are being played.
When you understand the game, you can understand how to play, when you start playing you can start winning.
You are either in the game or on the sideline. Even when you are on the sideline the game is still being played without you. Whether you like it or not the game is always being played and you are a player in the game.
No matter what the game is like baseball, football, your health, your wealth, your career or relationships put 100% of yourself into it. Understand what winning looks like for you and understand the rules of the game.
Do everything you can to win! Put everything you have into winning! Win no matter what!
There are more ways to win than there is to lose. If you are aware of these ways to lose then you can avoid them.
Growing up I was taught, “Winners never quit and quitter never win.”
This is the only way you can lose. If you quit then you are sure to lose. Quitting is not an option for a winner. If you give yourself an out then you will take it. If you are committed then you will find a way to win
There is not one single action that will take you from where you are to where you want to be. I’m sure you have heard of taking baby steps. It is called taking baby steps because babies are not born with the ability to walk. Babies have to slowly learn how to balance and use their muscles correctly. They have to fall over and over again until they take learn how to walk. If nothing else babies are persistent because they keep falling until they learn to walk. Each step you take is a success. You will fall but eventually you will learn to walk and even run. Start small and the accumulation of all the hard work of each step with build on itself.
Stop waiting until you are ready. As soon as you are ready its already too late.
No one learns by being successful at everything they do. The biggest lessons are learned from the biggest failures. It takes no courage to keep swinging if you win. The real courage comes from keeping on going after you have taken a lose. The greatest teams in sports do not lose twice in a row. They rebound from the loss get better.
The real success is who you become and how you look at yourself.
