A WINNER
Winning,
most people contemplate some huge win during their lives. They dream they speculate, they participate in
competitions and continue to make plans for
what their life would be after winning.
It
is only natural to dream and want
upliftment in your life. It is good, you are positive, looking for a brighter
future and better living conditions. The gift of
doing this is the positive attitude you have. Alas, that alone is not enough.
On
the other hand, there are the poor people who live in such unpleasantness and
poverty they do not have time to think about a better life, their thoughts
always occupied with where their next meal will come from. They take their last
few pennies and buy the lotto ticket, just in case there is a chance for them
to win. They eagerly wait for the results and then tear up the ticket in
frustration, cursing the Gods, and continue their quest for survival. They do not win because they do not know how to.
We
read about people winning, we hear about family members winning, we hear about
our friends winning. Good, it is wonderful; several people have a second chance to uplift their lives. Also, you, what do you do, when you hear the
good news? Does jealousy overtake your thoughts and emotions? Do you wonder why
they had an opportunity to win, and not you? Yes of course you do. Yes, these
people won and we wonder why. You might ask was it luck or were they
subconsciously prepared to win?
You cannot control your emotions all the time.
Nevertheless, get over yourself; it was them and not you. Change those
emotions, and you will find true joy for
your friends or family members who have succeeded. Do not want what they have
it is a sin. One of the Ten Commandments, "Thou
shall not covet", remember this and take thought about wanting what is not yours. This should be your first lesson,
enjoy their success, show genuine joy towards them, and let their success
inspire you to live a better life.
You
too can be a winner! When will you know that you are ready to win? Easy when
you are prepared to win. It might sound cynical, but being prepared to win is
having won the battle for a better chance of succeeding. Ask yourself, "Are
you prepared to win"? Contemplate the meaning of being prepared. Prepared to win, yes you are probably ready to go to work, eat your food, meet your needs,
and continue your life being ready to do
the daily chores and routines, which occupy ninety percent of your time. You
are not prepared to win, not yet.
Winning
is like sleeping, eating, playing, or working. Effort and preparation go into
the regular routine we have to do on a
daily basis. You make an effort and prepare your meal, you make an effort and
prepare for sleep, and you make an effort and prepare for work. Without giving
much thought to the daily routine of your life, you do make an effort and
prepare, and so your subconscious mind continually does the menial task of what
you do every day. Perhaps, your life has become so mundane; your mind has
become lazy. No real sacrifice is required to do what needs to be done on a
daily basis. It is routine, but sometimes out of the ordinary, something
different does happen. Out of the ordinary, you get an invitation to a party, a
wedding, or a holiday. Wow, now your mind is spinning, excitement and the brain are
bewildered, what happened to the miserable
life you are living, here is something different, and your emotions mount to
experience, joy, and real happiness. Something good is happening. Great, you
can change. Now we are looking for something better in our lives, we have just
felt the emotion of good. Therefore, what is the difference, what must you do
to prepare to win?
Yes,
you dream of the great win, and the
holidays, travelling and parties your life will be full of adventure and you
will have all your hearts desires. Is this good? Yes and no, let us first
define what is good and what is not. Good would be to live a life filled with
your hearts desires but within moderation. That is the key, moderation, having
enough and not overindulging in anything.
This will ensure pure joy and happiness and a long life to take pleasure in
your newfound freedom.
Being
prepared to win takes effort; it does not happen overnight and perhaps not even
in a month. What you really need to ask yourself
is do you want to win. If you can sincerely answer that question,
without any reservations, you will be a winner. The
next question you might ask is how you prepare yourself to win. Preparing
ourselves to win, would be the same as preparing ourselves for anything we do
in our lives.
Any
sports person would tell you, they win because they are prepared. Time, effort, getting ready, planning, practicing, and
training is part of their regular daily
routine. The runner would get up early in the morning and exercise, he is not
lazy he made an effort, he left the comfort of his bed and rose while still
dark to endure the lonely road in the cold. He has one goal in his mind, to
win. He knows, without any effort, he would not be prepared, he endeavoured, and he won. He is a winner. The
doctors, the attorneys, the teachers, are all winners, have you considered why?
They made an effort; they studied, endured long hours to learn, and persevered,
forsaking the pleasures of the flesh to prepare for success. They are winners
they never gave up.
Therefore,
what must you do, winning is a desire, for a better life. The effort, getting ready is the key. What an effort and how must one get ready, you
might ask. Easy, set aside some time each day and tackle the issue of winning seriously,
dedicate this particular time for training, and plan your win. Once you feel
ready to win, practice, every day, practice winning, practice the emotion, feel
the emotion, practice the win, feel the
win. Are you ready? Receive the Prize
reach your goal.
