In our politically correct (I would say incorrect) world, it seems wrong to call anybody a loser because we might make them feel bad about themselves. But the reality is that there are winners in life, and there are losers in life. One of the most important things you can do specifically in Developing and Deploying your greatness is to decide that you want to be a winner. Winning and losing don’t happen only in the sports world, where it is on display and easily understood. It happens in life.
Winning and losing are everyday choices. Seek to know the difference between winning and losing so you can stay on the Win side of life. Here’s 14 ways to get (and stay) on the winning side of life:
• Winners have Passion. Losers are always looking for passion.
• Winners have a Vision for what they want. Losers hope they will find something they like.
• Winners learn from their mistakes. Losers repeat the same mistakes.
• Winners look for ways to Grow. Losers see no need to grow.
• Winners fail and say, “There must be a better way!” Losers fail and quit.
• Winners think, “If it’s hard, it must be worth it.” Losers say, “If it’s this hard, it must not be right.”
• Winners see the end from the beginning. Losers see the end at the beginning.
• Winners focus on possibilities. Losers focus on obstacles.
• Winners are givers. Losers are takers.
• Winners are consistent in good things and develop good habits. Losers are consistent in bad things and develop bad habits.
• Winners do unto others as they would like others to do unto them. Losers do unto others before they can do it to them.
• Winners are committed to the success of others. Losers are out for themselves.
• Winners say, “You never fail until you stop trying.” Losers say, “I tried once, failed, and I will never try that again.”
• Winners find a way to Win. Losers find a way to lose.
You can probably come up with some of your own, but either way, it is very important for you to understand that there are always Winners and Losers.
Vince Lombardi said, “Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You do not win once in a while, you do not do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”
