Winning

About Winning

Winning isn't normal.

Winning isn't normal. that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with winning. It just is not normal. In fact, it's highly unusual.

Every race has only one winner. No matter how many people are entered.(not to mention all those who tried and failed to make the cut), only one person or one team wins each event.

Winning is unusual. As such, it requires unusual action. In order to win, you must do extraordinary things. You can't just be one in the crowd. The crowd does not win. You have to be willing to stand out and act differently.

Your actions need to reflect unusual values and priorities. You have to value success more than others do. You have to want it more, wanting it more is a decision you make and you must act upon -not some inherent quality or burning inspiration. You have to make a value a priority.

You can't train like everyone else. You have to train efficently, and you have to train effectively.

You can't talk like everyone else. You can't think like everyone else. You  can't be willing to join the crowd, to do what is expected,to act in a socially acceptable manner, to do what's "in". You need to be willing to stand out and consistently take exceptional action.

If you want to win, you need to accept the risks and perhaps the loneliness because winning isn't normal.......
