Stop Behaving Like A Loser!
Mar 4th, 2008 by admin
Are you a loser?
Do any of the following apply to you?
- Are you fed up with having too many bills and not enough money?
- Do you hate Mondays and pine for Fridays?
- Were you just born under an unlucky star?
- Does nothing good ever happen to you?
If you answered yes to any of these, you’re a loser to some degree … if you answered yes to them all … you’re a real loser!
And here’s why…
Let’s start with how “unlucky” you are in life. Chances are you’re doing nothing to change your luck, you’ve just accepted that you’re unlucky and that’s how it’s going to be … you’re actually attracting your own bad luck as a result!
Consider this quote from Benjamin Franklin:
“I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.”
Franklin is so right!
The harder you work to achieve the things you really want in life, the closer you’ll move towards achieving them. On route you’ll create new opportunities that otherwise would not have fallen your way … all of a sudden you’ll share the good luck that only other people in life seem to have!
Not convinced it’s that easy? Consider these pearls of wisdom from Aristotle:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
In other words, if you keep doing the same dumb things every day, the outcomes will always be the same. If your life sucks, the only way to change it is to change the way you live it! Start working towards achieving your goals, and stop repeating the things that you’ve done every day of your life. Lose your loser’s habits!
Write down your goals and your dreams. This is the first step to being a winner!
Next, break down your goals into daily targets and tasks. Completing these tasks each day will break the loser habits you’ve developed through your life.
Think of your daily tasks in the words of the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu:
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
Change your life one day at a time.
Another trait of all losers is “procrastination”. Or as Thomas Jefferson (3rd President of the USA) once said:
“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”
Action speaks louder than words … it’s no good having great plans if you never action them … once you put a task off until tomorrow, you’ll find more often than not that tomorrow never comes … those that achieve most in life do today what others fail to do tomorrow…
Finally to a trait all losers share … that of giving up! As the hero of all losers … Homer Jay Simpson said:
“If at first you don’t succeed … give up!” and “If something is hard to do … it’s not worth doing!”
All losers give up or don’t try when the going gets tough! Winners in life keep going long after losers have given up. If Thomas Edison had been a loser we’d all still be in the dark! On his way to inventing the light bulb he famously said:
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Most losers give up at the first sign of failure, yet the most important lessons in life are often learnt as a result of failure! Edison also said:
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
If you want to be a winner in life and lose the loser’s tag, keep trying until you succeed, never give up … try different things until you get it right!
I’ve tried lots of methods and tools in attempts to succeed as an online marketer over the last few years, the majority have failed, but I’ve kept going, I keep trying new things. I have an indestructible belief that I’ll achieve my goals and dreams … every day I take action towards achieving financial freedom … finally I’m seeing results … and so can you …
We can all be winners …
