Winning is a Habit

“A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive, and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.”
~Vince Lombardi
Right at this very moment, I want you to decide exactly what it is that you want out of life.
What kind of person do you want to be?
More importantly, how hard are you prepared to work to accomplish your goals?
Think of any prominent name: Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein. Who were they before they were someone? Some may have been well educated, some may have come from a good family, and some were middle class, others homeless, some even in debt. It doesn’t matter!!! Not everyone that is famous today was born to shine. What they all have in common was a belief that they COULD do what they were passionate about and they were willing to work harder than everyone else to achieve their goals.
Make a decision today that will shape your destiny. It’s not going to miraculously come to you. You can’t worry about what people think or say about you. Develop the skills you need to achieve your goals and work on them every single day and don’t stop until you no longer have to introduce yourself.
Commit to yourself TODAY…do not wait until tomorrow!!
STOP THE NOISE!!
Again, how hard are you prepared to work to accomplish your goals?
A positive start to your day will start with these five tools:
- Wake up at 5:00 a.m. Wake up before anyone else. Use your alone time wisely.
- Exercise – it will not only fuel your body but it will also fuel your mind.
- Meditate – contemplate the universe, pray, gain inner peace, rejuvenate yourself. Use the time to help yourself grow spiritually and mentally.
- Adjust your goals daily – get into the habit of working hard enough to accomplish some and to make room for new ones.
- Gratitude – be grateful for the ability to wake up, be healthy enough to work hard and grateful for the people most important in your life.
“Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”
~Vince Lombardi
Posted on October 9, 2015Wake up!
What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
The words and what you tell yourself are not only powerful but IMPACTFUL. With that said, keep in mind that if and only if you say them in the right way, will they change your mindset?
Wake up every morning with a purpose. You should have clear goals laid out on how you plan to carry on with the rest of your day from the moment you open your eyes. You should technically have the goals set up the night before because like I’m often heard saying, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” You need to develop the discipline necessary to focus and write down what needs to be done daily for the following day, the evening prior. As individuals, we make up a myriad of excuses as to why we didn’t write down our goals. Again, the word is discipline, because all success is built on discipline and consistency.
I’m tired of hearing about all the noise you tell yourself as to why you aren’t functioning at the level you should be. Give it up! I don’t care what happened yesterday, that’s the past. You were not born wealthy, so what? You had a bad childhood? Okay, you are all grown now. You made bad choices? Got it, make different ones today. I don’t want to hear the NOISE!!! What you do today will determine your future tomorrow. Write down and live your action plan, because I don’t want you just going through life, I want you to LIVE IT to the fullest!
You are basically living in fear and you don’t even know it. You don’t take risks because you are afraid, yet if you listen to what I’m telling you, you would realize that the antonym of fear is greatness and accomplishments. It’s your goals coming to fruition.
Go to sleep with a plan…..Wake up with a purpose!
