How To Be a Winner
Abraham Lincoln once said, “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”
Below are some tried and true tips to help you win in life:
Always try one more time.
Don’t let the people beneath you bring you down to their level. Always take the high road.
Strive to be a better person. Use all of life’s experiences whether they are good or bad to make you a better version of yourself.
Stay motivated and driven. Never take your eye off your goals.
Practice resiliency. You must master this is be a winner.
As Phil Knight said: “Play by the rules but be ferocious.”
Help others succeed.
Control everything that’s actually in your control to the maximum extent and forget about the things that are out of your control. Have faith that life or God will guide you and trust that the timing will always be right.
Stay true to your word. Do not indulge yourself in lies.
Be selective of who you spend time with. Who you allow into your life is who you will become.
Make the best of everything.
Do the right thing.
Follow your inner compass.
Protect your time so you’re able to get your essential responsibilities done and still have time for some much needed self care.
Compete with yourself. Always try to do better than you did yesterday.
Never allow anyone to dull your sparkle.
Be kind to everyone.
Listen to feedback but don’t adopt it as your only truth. People will often discourage you. Believe in yourself and your abilities despite what anyone says. If you want to do something in life make up your mind to do it, form a strategy and work on getting where you want to be.
Hold yourself to the highest personal and professional standards.
Adopt a Growth Mindset.
Always be working on your goals. Ask yourself with every action you take: “Is this getting me closer to my goal?” If it isn’t then it is not a useful action.
Never waste time on worrying about what people think of you. People see what they want to see and it’s more of a reflection of who they are than who you are.
Forgive your enemies but never forget their names.
Do not ever get caught up in taking revenge. It’s a waste of time and energy. Instead forgive everyone of everything and let karma takes its inevitable course.
Keep a constant commitment to becoming a better person in all of life’s situations. You can learn from every experience and every person you come in contact with. A winner is sure to do just that every time.
