So Win!

It all comes down to what you really want to do: win or lose. The prize always has a price. Are we willing to pay it? Success always comes with the payment of sacrifice in the following areas. Time, money, and energy. A combination is needed of the three. When we lack one the cost for it is the other two sometimes in mass quantities. Are we willing to pay that price to win the prize. A willingness to go beyond our limits ones self imposed and ones others have tried to dump upon us. Will we persist until we have our victory or will we just give up.

Mindset to Win

One thing that decides if we will win or not is our mindset. We must be willing to have a growth mindset, one that looks for the lesson to be learned, or the answers to the right questions. Often times we need to keep asking questions not just for the answers that they bring, but so we can find the right questions to get the answer from. When we have a growth mind set we know that work has to be done. A growth mindset seeks out solutions, possibilities, and opportunists.

Sometimes we are looking for one answer when in fact we find a solution for a totally different problem.We have to be smart enough to know that there are times when what we thought we wanted was the wrong thing for us. A fixed mindset results in blaming, excuses, and trying to push rivals out of the picture. Growth comes from openness, a willingness to learn from everyone, and making changes.

So winning is a choice. I am not blind to circumstances, they sometimes are just there to let us see what is really inside of us. They test us, they grow us, and they stretch us to become the person that was hidden inside of us. Pushing past the set backs will give use strength to lift our self off the floor when we hit the wall.
