5 WAYS TO HAVE A WINNING MINDSET

You may wonder why elite athletes had a winning mentality. The drive to keep going and going even when the odds are against them. A winning mentality makes you unstoppable, and everything possible. Therefore, how do you develop a winning mentality?

Focus on winning not winners.

Most people lose because they focus on successful people. Winners dream of winning while losers dream of winners.

Focusing on your personal development is important. Continue to focus on winning.

Let people do or say what they want. Focus on your task and what you are called to do. Put in the effort to win at any cost. But do it ethically. Don’t cheat when trying to win.

Surround yourself with positive people

In the words of Les Brown, hang out with OQP, Only Quality People. You gave up your dream because you listen to people who gave up their dreams. Mingle with optimistic people, not those that believe it is impossible. Be around those who will encourage. Those that believe you can do it.

You can even reach out to professionals in the field you want to be successful in. Ask them how they do it. Seek advice, get yourself a coach, because you can’t see the full picture when you’re in the frame.

Mingling with winners reinforces your belief in winning. You will trust your ability more. Say to yourself, I can do it!

Think Positively

The mind is like a garden. You can’t plant potatoes and prepare to harvest bananas. Similarly, you can’t feed your thoughts with negativity and expect success.  Your actions are a product of your thoughts. Feed your mind with positive thoughts.

See every obstacle as a challenge, and every failure as an inch closer to success. See an opportunity in every situation. That way you will be unstoppable.

Endure and be patient

Before you leave the work halfway, remember that Rome was not built in a day and it takes six months to build a Rolls Royce. If you want to be successful, then you need to be patient. Winners understand it, that is why they keep winning

Let’s take a scenario; Big companies like  Coca-Cola, Adidas, Puma had been in the game before world war 2. Apple, Microsoft had been around for decades. People only see the result, not the steps.

As it is said ” Anyone that masters patience masters everything else” You cannot see a person who became successful overnight.  Success happens with time, effort, endurance, and patience.

Believe in yourself not your fears

Doubt kills dreams more than failure does. If you don’t believe in your dreams, then who is going to believe them.

It takes courage to believe in your ability. However, if you want to achieve the impossible, then believe you can do it. When you do, you are difficult to stop.

Your ability is only a limitation of what you believe you can do. Most people believe their fears. They use it as an excuse not to get the job done. Listen to yourself not your fears

However, don’t ignore your fears, fix them. Take the necessary steps to tackle the potential risks. Find a solution to the problem.

If you want to win, do like winners. If you want to keep a winning mentality, if you need the drive and hunger to win, then implement these simple steps. Then, see what happens.
