Why Winning is a Habit

“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” ~ Vince Lombardi

You are not a success if you merely succeed just once. That may just be a splash in the plan. If it is not sustained, it can’t be real. You are a success when success becomes a habit to you. So is winning! Whether in business or in your everyday life! Winning is a habit no doubt but then, so is losing. The people who win always do things differently than ordinary folks even though they may be doing the same things. Doing things differently is what gives them the edge and stands them out from the crowd. As Zig Ziglar likes to say, “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” That is only when you really win.

For most people, they really become quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe they can do things and start doing them is when success beckons. When they realize that all progress always involves risks and that they can’t steal second base and keeping their feet on first is when real success begins. Believing in yourself and making winning a habit is when you really win. That is extremely fulfilling.

How to Live Daringly

“Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition – in having put forth the best within you.” ~ Henry J. Kaiser

Life is a daring adventure no matter your station in life, business or calling. You can never get somewhere unless you are prepared to dare and to brave the consequences. Staying focused and the ability to persist no matter the odds is the hallmark of great champions whether in business, in life or in any field of human endeavor. One great American statesman John Calvin Coolidge left these immortal lines to the world, "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

You must decide to live daringly, boldly and fearlessly if you want to achieve anything worthwhile in this world. As H. Ross Perot tells us, "Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown."
