“Don’t live the same day over and over again and call that a life. Life is about evolving mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.”

The tendency to compare ourselves to others is as human as any other emotion. Certainly I am not alone in doing so. Yet that person you feel inferior is all in your head. They are not luckier than you. Their brain is not more powerful than yours. They were not blessed with a skill set that you could not develop. Do you really think successful people got where they are today by sheer luck? Do you think they achieved their ambitious goals overnight without setbacks along the way?

Michael Jordan was cut from his high-school basketball team because he “wasn’t good enough.” The Beatles were rejected from a studio label because they had “no future in show business.” Charlie Chaplin was rejected by Hollywood studios because he was “too nonsensical to ever sell.” J.K. Rowling, the author of the world-famous Harry Potter series, encountered rejection after rejection for a full year before a publisher finally agreed to accept her work.

The difference between winners and losers is simple. Winners keep moving forward no matter what trials they face while losers give up at the drop of a hat. You don’t lose until you quit, so don’t quit.
.
You can not blame others for your mistakes, and you can not use excuses. Winners are people that are self aware about their own mistakes, they understand that it is their choices and decisions that brought them there. Winners do not use excuses, they find solutions.
.
Decide to develop a winner’s mindset, start looking things at a different perspective. Start to look at things like challenges. You should try to challenge yourself daily, form a habit of doing every day something that you could not do before.
.
Try to learn something new every day, read a book or meet new people or do something different. Because when it comes to winning, having more knowledge is power.
.
And in the end it all comes to working hard…..A mix of hard work and determination can get you anything in life. What are you going to do to take yourself forward today?

“Break your shackles and reach out to your freedom. Break to pieces whatever indoctrination and programming that holds you hostage. The world is yours. Get possession of it.”
