                              How Winners Think

                                                                by Jane Powell 

                         “When you try something new, you have 

                                    little to lose and much to gain.”

Of course success is never guaranteed, but that does not mean you should not try. Take comfort in knowing that even if you fail you are still gaining life experiences and making deposits into your bank of wisdom. You really have lost nothing in your pursuit. You have come out smarter, wiser and more prepared for your next challenge.

Arise to your next challenge. If you find yourself thinking, “What if I fail?” try turning that question around. Instead, ask yourself, “What if I succeed?” That’s how winners think!

                                 Give yourself a perfect day.

                                 Do what makes you happy.

                              Look upon what gives you joy.

                              Speak to those who warm your heart.

                           Listen to that which lifts your spirit.

                        Surround yourself with sights and sounds and  

                                  people who give you pleasure.

                             For all the happiness you give to others.

                                 Give yourself a perfect day.

                                                      Making fears insignificant

                                                                                                  Fear is possible only 

when you forget how much power you really have. 

Fear takes up those spaces 

in your world

 that you have neglected to fill with 

love and positive possibility.

You don’t have to fight the fear. 

You don’t have to let the dark clouds 

of dread and anxiety cast their crippling shadows

 over your life any longer.

                                                                             Instead, allow love to fill your awareness. 

Give in to that beautiful longing you feel to be fully 

and authentically you. 

Give your life’s energy to your highest hopes, 

desires, dreams and positive possibilities. 

Then your fears will naturally recede into insignificance. 

With your mind and your spirit at peace, 

your thoughts and actions are free to be strong,

focused and effective. You’ll unleash 

the ability to create value and richness in your world. 

The positive possibilities are truly without limit. 

Imagine them, allow them to inspire you, 

and turn your attention toward 

fulfilling the best of them.
