From a new breed of motivators, America's Attitude Coach
Ray Pelletier gives you a practical guide for translating
your personal mission into concrete action. Make today
your January 1 st . Say goodbye to negative thoughts and
change your life by giving yourself Permission to Win.Talking with ChampionsPoor perceptions of ourselves are formed in early
childhood and may stay with us for the rest of our lives,
unless we make an effort to change and have a winning
attitude.Decide to WinThe first step to winning is: You need to Decide to win.
Your January 1 st marks the day you decide to restructure
your way of thinking and escape from every cell to which
others have confined or limited you.What is winning?Winning is acknowledging one of life's greatest truths -
"It doesn't matter what happens to you, just what you Do
with what happens to you!" - a winner is someone who
knows how to overcome adversity.Goals and MissionsYour mission refers to your reason for being on earth,
your purpose in life. All of us need a vision and mission
that reflects our unique talents and desires. It is
something eating away at us and is the inner voice that
tells us what we should be doing with our time.Some of the unhappiest people are those that never set
goals for themselves and continue working at a job that
they hate, or staying in a dead-end relationship. These
people cheat themselves of higher personal fulfillment
and inner peace.Attitude - the Magic of Mental CoachingYou need to find yourself a coach. Where can you find the
best coach? Look in the mirror. If you are going to be a
long-term winner, you have to access your subconscious
mind and reprogram it with the positive thoughts and
experiences that will keep you on top!
If you've been programmed to think you are a loser and
will never amount to much, chances are that's what you
will become. You can re-program yourself to think you
are a Winner.Learning makes it happenYou are responsible to yourself to get the best education
to prepare you for your dream. Keep in mind that many
cases of "overnight success" actually took years to
achieve.
Remember: Winners never stop learning.Communicating - the hub of the wheelWinners follow these principles of effective communication:
1. Think before you speak.
2. Maintain control of your emotions and be positive,
open-minded, and respectful of other's views.
3. When communicating with others: Be polite. Don't
interrupt. Be attentive.
4. When you've got something to say, begin by listening.
5. K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple, Simon! This means great
communicators use plain, simple, concise and direct
language. Nobody likes a pretentious person who only uses
big words and likes to sound superior.
6. Raising your voice unnecessarily can be interpreted as
a sign of anger or frustration and is to be avoided in
every instance. Keep focused on your goal.Family and personal relationshipsWinners are able to weather a storm and come out okay. If
your spouse has left you, it may be time to put on a
winner's hat and move on. Create your new life and don't
get bogged down in depression and non-activity. Remember,
we can't adjust the wind, but we can adjust the sails.Winning in the workplaceAlways remember: You are responsible for your own
professional career. Your attitude is everything. Leave
your work baggage outside the door when you get home.
Likewise, leave your personal baggage outside the door
when you arrive at your workplace. In real life, we make
the mistake of bringing our work problems home, and our
home problems to work.Give yourself awayAll human beings, no matter what religion they belong to,
find happiness and fulfillment in a form of giving or
charity. It is when we are helping others we feel lighter,
and happier. Choose a cause that interests you and fits
your talent and unique profile. This will add new meaning
to your life.Fiscal fitnessYes, you CAN attend to earning a living AND working on
your personal mission. Few of us are wealthy enough or
fortunate enough to simply pursue our dreams without
thought to where we will get our financing. It takes a
daily effort to schedule one part of your day to the
work of your personal dream, and another to paying the
rent.The Water of LifeThis involves probably the most important spokes in the
Circle or Wheel of Life. The Water of life refers to the
three essential spokes of the Circle of Life:1. The spiritual2. Physical fitness3. LeisureWe all must make room for these activities.
Permission to Win1. Free yourself of self-imposed restrictions and open
your mind to a champion's potential.2. Do not let the loss of a job, a relationship, or an
illness take away your strength.3. The great thing about human beings is their ability
to overcome adversity.4. Give yourself permission to win and start Today!5. Take five seconds to go to a mirror and tell yourself
loudly and firmly: "I give you permission to win."Key thoughts:"Be more concerned with your character than your
reputation, because characte is what you really are,
while your reputation is merely what others think you
are." -John Wooden, college basketball coach"Although they only give gold medals in the field of
athletics, I encourage everyone to look into themselves
and find their own personal dream, whatever that may
be - sports, medicine, law, business, music, writing,
whatever. The same principles apply. Turn your dream
into a goal and learn how to attack that goal
systematically. Break it into bite-size chunks that
seem possible, and then don't give up. Just keep
plugging away."
