That Little Secret To Winning In Life

"I urge all of you to enjoy your life, every precious moment on this earth. Spend each day with some laughter. 
Don't be afraid to feel; to get your emotions going. 
Be enthusiastic, because nothing great can be accomplished without enthusiasm. Live your dreams."
*-- Jim Valvano

"Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time, with eyes of a child, fresh with wonder." 
*-- Joseph Cornell

"For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, 
For health and food, for love and friends, 
For everything Thy goodness sends."
*-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Personal attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. It is our disposition, perspective, viewpoint, or outlook.

Your own attitude affects others as well as you. It impacts every one you interact with from your family to the stranger you smile at on the street corner. Wayne Dyer rightly says, "I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside".

The little secret to winning in life is to create a winning attitude. You must think, see, and visualize like a winner for you to win. The moment you say, "I can't", "I don't think I am capable", "There is too much of competition out there", "I don't stand a chance", consider yourself having already forfeited your chance to win.  This little voice of negativity goes on reinforcing and you ultimately end up as a loser in enterprise. 

Instead, if you were to assert your right to win, you stand a solid chance to win and no set back can take away your attitude. When Alexander was on a world conquering spree, he crossed the Indus. The Indian King on the other side of the river Indus was reputedly a powerful king with a large contingent of elephants. Alexander's weary men had almost given up the battle but Alexander was ever a winner with an attitude of a true winner. He told his men, they were going to fight till the end and were not to return defeated. 

Alexander won the battle. The large elephant contingent of King Porus running wildly amuck in utter confusion stampeded their own men. King Porus himself was no less of a winner with winning attitude. He was caught and brought before Alexander, who asked him "How would you like to be treated?" Porus didn't feel defeated at all. His attitude was still of a winner. "As a King treats another King" replied Porus. Alexander was highly impressed by the reply.  He accorded King Porus, the highest honor due to a king. Alexander gave away every thing including the land he had won from Porus and let him rule as a sovereign.

It is not difficult to guess what might could have happened if Alexander and Porus did not have a winning attitude. Alexander could not have come as far as Indus from Greece without the winning attitude. Alexander might have lost the battle without fighting if he like his men believed he could not possibly defeat the strong army of the Indian king. He might have returned without crossing the Indus. Similarly, any other King in Porus' place might have pleaded mercy. But Porus was bold and brave. He stated ih his mind that he must be treated like a king. And he got what he wanted.

A person is never defeated when you possess a winning attitude. A winning attitude comes out of confidence in one's skills and abilities. A winning attitude is a natural expression of those intrepid diehard souls that never ever ever ever...give up.

Remember, that the world greatest human achievements comes from defeating great struggles. When you encounter lot of obstacles and overcome them, it's such a pleasure to celebrate when the reach the finish line. Your satisfaction increases to its peak, you manifest out to see your success.
