What makes the difference between one person coming out of a desperate situation a success and another a failure? In a recent post of mine, "The Law of Attraction? Superhuman Ability?" I talked 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. Everyone looses. A winner gets back up, learns from his or her mistakes, and tries again. A winner does not give up. A winner does not look to place blame or point fingers. A winner takes consistent action, even if the steps are small and painful. It's all about having a positive, winning 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 brighter the darker the night becomes - a winner IS one of those stars.
I just read an interesting post over at Steve Pavlina's blog: Million Dollar Experiment Manifests $4 Million. In this article, he talks more about polarity and mindset. This article, plus his last three on the subject, The #1 Mistake..., Polarity, and Polarization, should be required reading for those entering adult life, or maybe when graduating high school or college. (I also think people should be required to pass a test before being allowed to propagate but that's a subject for another post!) Read these four blog entries of Steve's, it's time well spent.
To borrow a saying from the stock market, "All ships rise with the tide" (the reverse is true as well). Winning, just like loosing, is contagious. Hang around with a looser and you'll start picking up loosing habits and before long, a loosing mindset. 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.
