Who are winners?

While today as I was reading Justin Kangwa’s Race to the top in daily mail titled “Who are winners” I was amused and encouraged to do much better and will continue to polish up my skills as a way of reaching to the top and staying there. As I continued to assimilate the article I came across an adage which was once said by James Allen the British “As a man thinketh, so he is”. But away from Justin Kangwa’s article in today’s daily (1^st/02/2012), I was prompted to borrow his heading and try to expand and expound my thoughts on the topic “WHO ARE WINNERS?”

Many people want to win in everything they do but then “Who are winners?” Winners are positive thinkers. People, who think positive do things in a positive way, they possess determination, courage and are non-quitters. No matter how the environment the surrounds themselves in dictates a number of things to them, they never quit. They learn from failure, because they have developed an understanding that FAILURE IS A LEARNING CURVE in life.

People who succeed in life are no different from people who fail to succeed but what differentiates the two is the pattern of thinking and the way they do things. Winners do things differently and always think positive no matter the circumstance they found themselves in. winners never quit and always want to learn and explore new things. Failures do things the same way and never notice what and how to change.

The character of being a winner is all summed up in what our thoughts are really made up of. If you think you can win, you can, but if you think you cannot win, you can’t for sure. Our life is all made of what we think. Stephen covey once said that “we move from private victories to public victories”; meaning, we thinking privately or secretly and what we think is reflected by what we do in public domain. James Allen from his famous book wrote “all achievements whether in business, intellectual or spiritual world, are a result of definitely direct thought”. This entails the fact that whatever we achieve in life is as a result of thoughts, be it negative or positive. This all points to the fact that the MIND is an important instrument that has to be used with care; train your mind to think of good things be it in relationships, family, finances, business etc. Positive thoughts bring or spring confidence in oneself. Winners think positive even when under pressure; they control their emotions and get the best out of unfavourable circumstances.

Dear reader, from today I urge you to refine your thinking, think positive if you want to be a winner. There is no such a thing in life like he is highly favoured by God, what matters is the type of mindset that you have developed yourself the way you think and do things. The bible in book of proverbs says that as water reflects man’s face so as his mind. People who think negative are engrossed by fear and they are the ones who don’t prosper in life, they are at the same level!! Change your thinking pattern and everything around you changes. It doesn’t matter whether you are not good at math, English geography, accounts etc.; but the secret to score high grades is to say “YES I CAN” and you will see the magic behind positive thinking blended with good attitude. Attitude is of worth when you are aiming to win. Not only developing positive thinking will you win, but also your attitude should change and align itself with what your thoughts are. Be a master of your mind and you will achieve everything that you want to achieve. Success begins in the mind, so as winning.

CAUTION: POSITIVE THINKING WITHOUT ACTION IS DANGEROUS.

Winners always think positive and you can be a winner too. Good thoughts bear good fruits and bad thoughts bear bad fruits. Use your mind wisely if you want to become a winner. Happiness, success, winning, health, intellect, failure and wisdom are all in the mind. Surely as a man thinketh, so he is!!

WIINERS THINK POSIVE, HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET, THEY NEVER QUIT!!! ROOTS OF SUCCESS ARE IN THE MIND.
