Success is there for those who want it and are willing to do what it takes to achieve it. This desire and willingness to succeed make up what I call a winning attitude. It’s not a passing thought or feeling that you get every once in a while. It’s the air you breathe, the beating of your heart, the direction of every step you take.
When you have a winning attitude, it fuels your every move. Think of a runner who doesn’t care if he comes in first, second, or even last. Will he push himself with ever ounce of energy? No! Think of a volleyball player who’s only in the game when the ball comes near her. Will she anticipate every move and strike when the time is right? Of course not.
The first standard of success is a winning attitude. It sets the foundation for everything that follows.
