The Winning starts in your mind first!

I love everything that there is about competing, and it really does not matter what the event or sport. I love the process, preparation and everything that goes into getting quality results. In a prior post I defined greatness as the ability to produce quality results consistently. With that being what I believe, I also believe that winning starts in my mind first because I actually love doing the work that it takes to win. However if I win or If I come up short (I hope you all notice what word I did not use) I can always point back to my preparation. I do not believe that there are short cuts to success. One of my passions is playing golf, and over the past 2 years my game has actually gotten better, only because I took the time to THINK about what it would take to get better, while my friends might be out on the town, I am practicing and in constant thought about getting better at this wonderful game, and this past summer I posted my best scores.

Am I satisfied now? I would say that I am even more motivated to get better because my goals for golf are much higher than the best scores I posted. My point here is that I started thinking about the success that I wanted to achieve first. If my thoughts were about the fact that the game of Golf is difficult and I will never get better, then I would have never achieved my objectives. Sure there were some bad days and really bad scores but I believed that better scores were inside of me, and I that I could get better.

The winning starts in your mind first, it is another way of saying that whatever the mind can conceive and believe it will achieve. If your desire is to be your best, if starts in your mind first!

Be your best!
