How To Win Again

No one is a loser. Just because you are not where you are supposed to be right now does not make you a loser. 
You are not a loser if you do not give up. You are not a loser if you are still out there chasing your dreams. 
So not worry about people trying to bring you down, calling you names. 
Whatever they say is not about you, but about them. Because people who feel really good about themselves never call other people negative names. 
When you are positive, you do not see negative things in other people. What we see in others is what we are carrying around every day. 
So do not worry. If you want to win, keep going. Keep fighting. Keep chasing. But if you need inspirations from other sources, here are some for you:

'If you want to win, you have to keep moving forward. To keep moving forward, you have to keep making decisions.''- Larry Weidel 
Meaning do not settle for less. If where you are is not making, it is breaking you. To grow, you must keep moving. Remember, life is about movement. If you are not moving, you are not growing.

'With fear comes paralysis, and with paralysis comes certain failure.''- Larry Weidel
Fear is there. You can't drive it away, but you can do something about it. You can walk past it. If you do not face your fears, you will never achieve your dreams. 

'No advantage is a guarantee you'll win. No lack of advantage is a guarantee that you'll lose.'- Larry Weidel
Do not let advantage be the thing that is holding you back. You can get what you want if you really want it. 
Ask yourself, 'Do I have what it takes to get what I am seeking?'

'Every day, people with fewer advantages and more drive decide to outthink, outwork, and outperform their more 'advantaged' counterparts.'- Larry Weidel
Prove yourself to yourself, not to other people. Why? Because there is nothing you can't achieve if you believe in yourself. Success comes to those who believe. If you want to win, you must first believe you can win. If not, it is not going to happen.

'The only questions that matter to winners are 
'Do I really want it?
Does it excite me?''- Larry Weidel

'We can only be great doing things we really wan to do, for our own reasons.''- Larry Weidel
If you are not enjoying what you are doing, do not quit right away. Take your time to find out why you are not enjoying it. Ask yourself, 'Is it about me?' If you think it is about the organization, then you can look for what you love to do elsewhere.

'Your curiosity is directly connected to your internal motivation- the most powerful drive in your life.''- Larry Weidel
It is only your curiosity that can take you to your next level. Remember, the more questions you ask, the more you will know about the world around you. 

'Until you follow your whims, you can't really know what you really want.''- Larry Weidel
If you want to make it in your life, you have got to listen to that voice that won't let you be. Don't ignore it. It has something for you. And that thing is your passion. To make it, follow your passion. 


'Winners know that if you do not figure out what you want, you'll get whatever life hands you.''- Larry Weidel
To get what you want, you must figure it out. No one is going to do it for you. It is yours to figure out. If you can't, then reach out for help. Because there are people out there who have done what you are doing, or thinking about. Remember, no one succeeds alone.

'Planning helps you convince yourself that this is something you can do and something you should do.''- Larry Weidel
A goal without a plan is just a wish. It will never come true. 

'While losers are overdoing their thinking and planning, winners have moved on and are overdoing their activity and learning.''- Larry Weidel
Do not waste your time plannning forever. Life is too short for you to plan forever. You are not going to be here forever. And don't forget that everything is changing. So if you want your ideas to pass the test of change, you must act now.

'Pushing yourself to uncomfortable limits today makes it possible for you to handle bigger challenges tomorrow.''- Larry Weidel
If you want to grow, you must challenge yourself. You must stretch yourself. Because we grow when we stretch our muscles. Remember, whatever you do not use, you lose. If you do not want to lose your creative self, you must use your creative self. 

5 Simple Ways To Live A Slower Life

Life is a gift. It is a gift from God.
What are we doing with our lives? We don't take care of it.
We are busy. We are working. We are pursuing the next,
the next, the next.... And the next will never end.

But you can put a stop to it. It is not what you are here to do.
Do not give your power away. You have the power to do 
amazing things. But if you are not there for you, 
then how can you take care of your broken soul?

Here are five simple ways to get there: If you want to live a slower life, you 
must pay attention to what is going on in your life. According to Brooke McALary,
'In order to change, we first need to notice. To pay attention, not only to what 
is happening around us and the good things in our lives we ought to be greatful for,
but also to ourselves. To notice what gives us passion and energy, 
what lights us up and makes us feel good.''

Do not forget why you are here. Before you get into the habit of busyness, 
ask yourself, 'Am I running my own race?' 'Am I pursuing my why?' if not, 
it is never too late to start looking for your why. To quote Brooke, 'Do the 
work of uncovering your why. Do the work of establishing your own 
personal philosophy and set of values. Do the work of naming the 
highest, eulogy-worthy priorities in your life. Then do the work of putting them
at the center of your life, every day.'

Practice mindfulness. You don't have to be an expert to do it. Pay attention to 
what is going on within you. Live in the moment. Wherever you are, be there. 
According to Brooke, 'A mindfulness moment. What can you see right now?
What can you hear? What can you feel? What can you smell? What can you taste?'

If you want to live a simpler life, do not forget about your movement. It matters. 
It says a lot about you. If you want it to make sense, you must pay attention to it.
In the words of Brooke, 'Pay attention to how movement makes you feel-
not how it makes you look. Use it to fill up, not deplete you.'

And finally, do not forget to make time for what you love, for what is important to you,
to your life, to your career, and to your future. If something is not right to you, 
then don't do it. If it is right, meaning it is getting you closer to your dreams, then 
focus on doing more of it.
