The Darker the Night the Brighter the Stars Shine
What makes the difference between one person coming out of a desperate situation a success and another a failure? I was recently talking about the great Explorer Earnest Shackleton and his failed Antarctic expedition. He turned certain death and disaster into survival and brought his entire crew home alive after almost 2 years of stranded isolation in the Antarctic. You can find success stories like this all around you, perhaps on a smaller scale, if you look for them. Maybe you yourself have turned a bleak prospect of a future into a great outcome. So what is it that separates the champions from the defeated?
A winner is a winner is a winner, even when they happen to loose. And everyone looses from time to time. However, a winner gets back up, learns from his or her mistakes, and tries again. A winner does not give up, ever. A winner does not look to place blame or point fingers. A winner takes consistent action, even if the steps are small and painful, they keep making them. Winning is all about having a positive attitude and it's all about belief.
The difference between a winner and a looser is that a winner believes that they'll win, that success is inevitable. They believe in something larger, a positive higher power. They do not accept failure. A winner exudes an infectious winning attitude and infects others with it.
A winner visualizes a positive outcome. A winner gives something back, shares, and reaches out and tries to help others become winners.
A winner looks at the black of night and realizes that the stars shine brightest when the night is darkest — a winner IS one of those stars.
To borrow a saying from the stock market, "All ships rise with the tide". Winning, like loosing, is contagious. Hang around with a looser and you'll start picking up loosing habits and before long, a loosing frame of mind. You'll become desensitized to loosing and come to think it's normal. I'd rather spend my time with winners than losers, wouldn't you? Hang around with someone who's a winner, who's better at something than you are and pretty soon you'll become better too. You'll become a winner!
