the psychology of winning

Quality 1: Positive Self-Expectancy

"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win."

If you don't believe that you can do something then you most likely wont be able to do it. you have to have a positive outlook on things so you can accomplish things that you have faith that you can accomplish. a true winner knows they have a chance of winning and acts on that feeling to win. expecting to always win is better than expecting to always loose because when your hopes are down you are not as motivated to do your best.

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."

When you are self motivated you can do a lot of things better because of the motivation. some people have a hard time finding the right motivation and when you are not motivated then you will not put your all into everything that you do. When you find your own motivation within your self you become more willing to do things and treat work like fun instead of work. when you treat work like work you are not motivated to do it because it becomes some thing that you would rather not do.

Quality 3:Positive self-image

True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.

If you don't have a positive image of yourself then you are always going to be closed off to everything else. if you are not confident and are not viewing yourself in a good way that will affect the way you act in your every day life. the more confidence you have in yourself the more you are going to be able to do things that you wouldn't be able to before.

Quality 4:Positive self-Direction 

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.

When you know what to do it feels so much better when you do it because you are not lost at all. When you have your future planned out you are able to do everything that you planned with a few unexpected set backs. It feels good to know what to do like building something. you cant do it fast if you don't even know what it is that you are building. having everything planned out is a good habit to practice. 

Quality 5:Positive self-Control

Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.

Being able to wait for things is good because the more you rush something the worse it will turn out. Waiting for something to happen can be boring but it is more rewarding in the long run because when you know how to wait for things you can take your time and get things done perfect.

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.

you have to be discipline when you plan to do something or you wont be able to do the things that require time and concentration. if you are not disciplined then you will be taken advantage of by something like how people fall for TV advertisements that are made to scam people out of their money.

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.

you have to have confidence in yourself if you plan to accomplish any thing at all. when you have good self esteem you are going to be a very happy and energetic person. when you believe in your self their is almost nothing than you cant accomplish. your chances of accomplishing something are decreased if you don't have a positive outlook on things that you do or have to do.

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.

You have to be focused on what is happening now or you will not be able to do things correctly. if you focus on past mistakes you wont be able to advance in the things that you do. If you focus on the future too much you will be too stressed out by the things that are happening right in front of you. if you are too focused on what could happen then you will lose track of what you should be doing right now.

Quality 9: Positive-self Awareness

Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination.

you have to be aware of everything in your life so you can control the things you do and improve everything that you do. when you are aware of things like your habits you can determine which is good and which is bad and improve the good ones and work towards forgetting the bad ones completely. those who look to themselves and improve their selves are more likely to do great things in their life.

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

If you don't take the action to better yourself and push others to better themselves then you are not going to get better at anything. when you truly do your best you are almost guaranteed to succeed as long as you did your best in everything you are doing. If you don't take action to do anything then you are not going to succeed because you have to take action before you can do anything else.
