The Winning Attitude

I’m the type of person who always wants to win no matter what. I like the concept of winning. Our thoughts and words are so important to bringing our dreams to reality. If I am not careful, I will catch myself thinking negative thoughts which translate into negative words. It is constant hard work to control this. I have decided to take the words “I can’t” out of my vocabulary because I believe I can set my mind to whatever I want to.

Everything we feel and believe is based on our internal thoughts. Whether we are conscious or not, we are what we think. We can be sad or happy, positive or negative, enthusiastic or boring.

Positive and negative thoughts are both contagious but I would much rather spread positive thoughts and words than spread negative thoughts. Everyone in one way or another affects each other, if you allow them to. People are affected by our thoughts as they come in contact with us. You can immediately pick up on a negative person’s thought as well as a positive person’s thought. But positive people are more likely to get help from other people and are much more likely to succeed in their efforts.

Here is a quote that has always struck me as being empowering.

“Whatever comes to us in life we create first in our mentality.”

If you think about that statement, I’m sure you will begin to see it as a truism. If you think positive thoughts and focus yourself on something you want, very often you achieve it. Conversely, if you sit around focusing on the things you don’t want to happen, they tend to gain momentum. There is a real simple reason for this. If you are focusing on the things you don’t want, you are not focusing on the things you do want.
