Win Using Your God Given Talents!

Winning means taking all of your talent and potential and using it in pursuit of a goal or purpose that makes you happy. 

Winning is:

• Letting others have their day(s) to shine
• Picking yourself up when you fall and moving forward
• Chasing a dream even when all others doubt you
• Graciously accepting defeat
• Doing your best even in a losing cause
• Doing the right thing even when no one will see or even notice
• Winning is a way of thinking. It has often been said, “What you can conceive you can achieve.”
• Not letting success change you
• Bring others up with you
• Never forgetting the ones that help you
• Staying optimistic
• Giving yourself freely to others
• Treating the nerd, old or fat person like everyone else
• Becoming the dream of yourself that fulfills you and gives you high self-esteem
• Giving and getting in an environment of love, social concern, cooperation, and responsibility. Be the best spouse, friend, sibling, parent, and community member that you can.

Winning is all about your attitude toward your potential. Your attitude determines whether you find personal fulfillment. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will. You won’t pursue your dream if you don’t believe in your ability to get there. Dreams remain dreams for many who are unwilling to believe in themselves and their potential. Potential is an idle object until motivation puts it in play.

The Brain Research Institute at the University of California – Los Angeles has concluded that the ultimate creative capacity of the human brain may be unlimited. The only limits to reaching higher plateaus of mental abilities are self-imposed.

The key to greater use of this magnificent resource is to remove self-imposed barriers, such as laziness, fear, low self-image, negative attitude. A positive attitude includes healthy responses to the stimuli of life.

A change in your self-image generally precedes a permanent change in personality or behavior, reinforced by a change in lifestyle. As Dr. Denis Waitley states in his book The Psychology Of Winning the self-image can be changed since the subconscious is incapable of differentiating between a real success and a success imagined again and again vividly and in full detail. A Winner’s self-talk is “I see myself changing, growing, achieving, winning!”

Imagine walking with a mirror directly in front of you. Are you projecting self-confidence? Walk with your back straight, your shoulders upright, and your chin up.
