The Psychology of Winning
Quality 1: Positive Self-Expectancy
"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win."What this means is that through every life situation we must go in with a positive attitude always expecting to win. If we do this, we will be more likely to take upon challenges. Overall, we all have a prophecy to fulfill which is our own. We as individuals have goals that we strive for and we all need to work to get there. This means making a lot of sacrifices and doing things that may seem difficult and are difficult. However, if we expect to win, we'll most likely get what we deserve and even if we don't, maintaining a positive attitude will ease our feelings and it'll help us get back up and it'll motivate us to try again because we maintained a positive overview on how things could be and it's really up to us to maintain that and never forget it. We must expect this from ourselves. Even the word self expectancy says this because it's not something people are going to do for us or expect from us. Its something we have to envision for ourselves.
Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation
"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."
What this means is that in order to achieve big things and be winners, we must find the good qualities and skills within us i order to overcome any issues and be willing to learn new things. We must find this ourselves because after all, only we genuinely know what we want and need for ourselves. We have to be our prime motivators
Quality 3: Positive Self-Image
True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.
What this means is that we should think highly of ourselves and work on our self esteem because this is crucial if we want to win. We can't expect others to love us nor care for us if we ourselves don't care about ourselves. We must have a positive self image and be confident on who we are. We're all valuable and it's important that we remember this because many times we might feel discouraged and think that we aren't worth it. We will never get no where in life if we think this way because to be something, you must first believe that one can achieve that something and this starts with oneself.
You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.
If we want to be winners, we must know where we want to go and what we're going to do to get there. We must have a sense of direction and not let others decide for us. We cannot have people building up our dreams nor should we follow others only because we're afraid to make our own choices. If you don’t make plans for your own, you’ll fit into someone else’s plans. And what do you think they have planned for you? Not much.
Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.
What this means is the ability to subdue our impulses in order to achieve longer-term goals. Rather than responding to immediate impulses, we can plan, evaluate alternative actions, and, often enough, avoid doing things we'll later regret. We must be fully aware of the choices we're making in our lives. The ability to exert self-control is typically called willpower. It is what allows us to direct our attention, and it underlies all kinds of achievement.
Quality 6: Positive Self-Discipline
You have to discipline yourself or else someone else will discipline you into doing what they want you to do. Total winners have the power to discipline and take control of their lives.
Self-discipline can be considered a type of selective training, creating new habits of
thought, action, and speech toward improving yourself and reaching goals.
Self-discipline can also be task oriented and selective.
View self-discipline as positive effort, rather than one of denial. They will help transform you into someone who has the internal strength to tackle any goal or project with dedication and consistency. At the end of the day, only we know what we truly need.
Quality 7: Positive Self-Esteem
Quality 7: Positive Self-Esteem
Your mood and outlook on life affect the way you see the world and how you interact in it. Total winners are positive, powerful people who make people feel good and provide a good vibe to those around him/her.
Your esteem is important because it has an impact on your life and choices. Your self-value is the source of your mental health. Self esteem is the idea that you have about yourself. It is how valuable and important you think you are. If you don't value yourself, then no one will because we build relations depending on how we view ourselves and how we expect to be treated. We should have enough dignity to know what we're worth and not allow others to undermine. Having a positive self esteem is crucial because if you believe you are worthy of happiness , you feel worthy of respect and you'll demand it from others which isn't selfish but rather shows one has dignity.
Quality 8: Positive Self-Dimension
Total winners like in the present. They know that now is all there is. They don’t get caught up in the past or worry about the future. They simply handle the business that they can handle which is the stuff going on today,
now.We must take everyday as its own challenge and not let the future exasperate us. Many people dwell on too many problems and forget to handle the business they have to handle per day. They spend their lives stressing and we shouldn't let unnecessary problems take over our life.
Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness
Self Awareness is having a clear perception of your personality, including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and emotions. Self Awareness allows you to understand other people, how they perceive you, your attitude and your responses to them in the moment. Self awareness is the first step in creating what you want and mastering your life. Where you focus your attention, your emotions, reactions, personality and behavior determine where you go in life. Having self awareness allows you to see where your thoughts and emotions are taking you. It also allows you to take control of your emotions, behavior, and personality so you can make changes you want. Having a clear understanding of your thought and, behavior patterns helps you understand other people.
Quality 10: Positive Action
Total winners take positive action in their business and with their friends and family. They are uplifting and motivating individuals who inspire the best from themselves and other
Taking action means doing things that are good for you and never doing anything that could possibly harm you. That means, if you have been ill and not strong enough to take a run or even a walk, you need to wait until you are well before you start exercising. What you can do, in the meantime, is work with a physical therapist to help you get stronger in a gradual and healthy way. Doing new things creates positive chemicals in your brain, which makes you feel better about life and closer to your loved ones.
