Do not be Confused...WINNING IS EVERYTHING!



There is nothing like football camp. Watching drills and new plays and hearing the coach yell for three hours straight takes me back to those years I was being molded myself to some being of "Greatness"!

As the mother of a 15 year old it was a pleasant surprise to finally hear a coach on the field that understood for once the true meaning to real life and real success. As I watched the boys run faster and harder on the field I could hear the coach demanding the same request out of every young ear that was tuned in to him...

"YOU WANT TO WIN? YOU WANT TO WALK OFF THAT FIELD ON FRIDAY NIGHT A WINNER? IF YOU WANT TO WIN ON FRIDAY NIGHTS, YOU HAVE TO WANT TO WIN RIGHT NOW! GIVE ME ALL YOU HAVE! WIN THIS DRILL, RIGHT NOW! WHO IS THE WINNER? WINNING IS EVERYDAY IN EVERYTHING YOU DO! DO NOT SLOW DOWN! PUSH IT! PUSH IT! PUSH IT! YOU HAVE TO WANT THIS! FEEL IT, PUSH IT! COME ON BOYS!"

Now, as I write this I am sure there will be some that may disagree...Those of you may be the coaches that taught my son and said "Give it the best you can and that is all I expect!"Ahhhhhh, How sweet.. As ture as those words are you have to understand that to WIN it takes a bit more than that! Giving the best we can is one thing but it will only get you so far. I speak from truth and understanding of this all to well. If you want to win in life, I believe that with every ounce in your body that you have to have that passion and drive to WIN and to WIN EVERYDAY in everything you do...You also need to undertant that more often in our adult life the competition is only against one person: SELF!

If you can learn to WIN in the game against SELF you have learned to WIN in EVERYTHING ELSE that you attempt. Being in shape, working environments, relationships, etc...

So how do you go about learning to WIN against SELF? There are many factors to gain full control of your mind but the two most important factors I have found in life is right here:

WAKE UP and HAVE CONFIDENCE!

One of the 1st Keys of  The 3 B Method: Living Life Busy, Balanced and Blessed is WAKE UP! You can go through minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and sadly for some YEARS being alive and going through the motions of life and never really being AWAKE! You can rise up out of bed everyday and go from one place to another somewhat LOST and somewhat confused in life...You can easily miss out on some of the most important events in life and some of the most important people...

Think about it...How many times have you driven on a long trip to suddenly get to an exit and go, "WOW! How did I get here?" I hear this often from women that look in the mirror and do not recognize the women looking back at them...

You see, this happens all the time in everyone's life that is going from event to event without a plan, without a purpose. You may think you are awake...but are you REALLY? Do you know what your plan is in life for yourself for the next 6 hours, the next week, the next month, the entire year, 5 years, 10 years...Goal setting, dreaming big and putting events into action are all parts to WAKING UP!

A study was once conducted on 8th grade boys. It asked them what plans they had for after they graduated. They had to write a paper based on what goals they had...The same boys were followed throughout High School and the results were astounding...The boys that wrote IN DETAIL of the plans they had were all in place and some moving far beyond the potential they ever dreamed...The ones that were not sure were still 4 years later...just not sure...

You see...WAKING UP is very important no matter the age...


NOW THAT YOU ARE AWAKE....HAVE CONFIDENCE: You have to believe in yourself, love yourself and be happy with yourself! If you want a magnetic personality you have to create that energy and make that energy vibrate out of who you are in everything you do! I have always felt confidence has an equal link to acceptance. The problem is that people have allowed thier confidence to be built or destroyed based on the acceptance of others when the TRUTH is that the only acceptance should be with yourself and your creator.

So please, do not be confused! Doing your best is great! It will get you far...However, if you want to live a life of abundance, joy and pleasure than you need to make sure you put your game gear on everyday and PLAY to WIN!

 Winning IS everything! 

Looking in the mirror and giving yourself the 1st place trophy at the end of the day is entirely up to you! GO FOR IT!
