Winners Give up “Giving up”

The new year has crested over the dyke and we are awash with new possibilities. The truth is, we are awash with the possibility of change in our lives every moment of every day. The new year is a marker, acting as a catalyst for change. This is when we find ourselves mentally prepared to accept something better into our lives. We give ourselves permission to dream of alternatives; new goals, new skills, more income, more education, less of ourselves…smaller pant and dress sizes, etc!
I invite you, on this day of new beginnings, to focus on the one thing which has eluded, evaded or failed you. With laser-like intensity, use this opportunity to cause one massive change…to accomplish something which you had previously given up on. Take action, even if it seems insignificant. Winners know perseverance, they allow themselves to feel a burning, consuming desire for their goals and they don’t give up on them. It doesn’t matter what other people think of your goals. What matters is that you condition your mind to believe and achieve.
By sticking to one, meaningful, burning goal and crawling, clawing towards it, sometimes inch by inch…you WILL teach yourself to persevere. Soon you will be walking toward your goals, then jogging, and then running! Sooner than you can imagine, if you stay focused and don’t give up, you’ll stop running toward your goals…your goals will start running toward you.
