Daily Gratitude: What’s your definition of winning? I heard a great definition of a “winner” – “A winner is a person who is constantly and continuously striving to become better at what they do.” So you can see it’s not about the outcome which is what a lot of people think. However, what’s most important is that you develop your own opinion as to what winning is. Why? Because you are the one who is playing the “game” not someone else. I think this quote has hit it right on the head by saying that it’s not giving up. I don’t see how you can possibly lose if you never give up. Each and every day you should practice keeping going. There’s always something going on that you can practice with even if it’s just being stuck in traffic with a ton of things on your to do list. What can you do to keep your mind in a positive mode in your circumstance? It’s so important that you weed out any negative thoughts that tend to creep in if we’re not constantly vigilant. So if you’re stuck in traffic spend that time saying your gratitudes, saying mantras you’ve created for yourself, plan out what is going to happen when you finally get where you’re going. This is called pre-paving. It works wonders. Plan it down to the smallest detail. I used to do that with all the meetings I had when I was working. Pre-paving sends the vibrations into the universe and that tends to bring it into existence. Next time you have a meeting try it. I know I’ve gone off in a few directions today but i personally think they are all related to winning and not giving up. My goal for the rest of 2024 is to develop the habit of keeping all my thoughts on something positive!
