You Are A Winner

Greetings:

How often do you set yourself up to win? Half of winning is believing that you can win. If you go into a situation believing that you will come out a winner, you have a better chance at winning just because you believe you can. If you tell yourself that you are a winner, you go into any situation with a winning attitude.

Every morning that you wake up alive, you are a winner. You have won another opportunity to do your best. Winning doesn't always mean you are in a competition with someone else. Often your most fierce competitor is the person who stares back at you each morning from the mirror.

The person that most often gets in your way is you. You stop yourself from winning in the game of life because of fear, lack of confidence, and self-defeating messages. Your negative self-talk alone is enough to keep you from being a winner.

I received a fax that read, "You are a winner." I smiled and said to myself, "Yes I know that." But what I didn't know was that I had won a free lunch for two at one of my favorite restaurants. I had lunch the week before at the restaurant and had put my business card in the win a free lunch fish bowl. The owner noticed me putting my card in the bowl and informed me he would be selecting a winner later that day. I said, "Yes and that winner will be me." And it was.

Each one of us is a winner; we simply have to believe that. Once you believe it you will begin to live your life as a winner. Everything you do, say, and think will support you in being a winner. You become what you believe you are, so believe you are a winner, and presto, you are.

How often do you tell yourself, I am not lucky, I never win anything? Well, you are wrong. Each day you win another opportunity to live life to the fullest. Each day you are lucky enough to have the gift of giving your best to the world. If you believe you are a winner, you will live life according to that belief. Whatever you believe to be true is true.

Here's to being lucky,
