Winning is a Choice

Martial artists who make the choice to win never lose in any situation that life throws their way.

During a time of training or competing, victory will happen for those who make winning their choice. Just by deciding to win and following up with action, winning becomes a habit.

When you’re learning a new technique in your training, it doesn’t always come easily, but struggling doesn’t equal losing. The struggle itself is winning. Even continuing to work at the skill regularly through the hard times is a win because it develops discipline and confidence for the next time you face a similar situation.

In a tournament, whether you get a trophy or not, you can still be a winner with the mindset of being a winner

Winning can be something as simple as not giving into to the fear of facing a superior competitor. You’re a winner when you still have a positive attitude even though things didn’t go as planned during a breaking competition. The ultimate win in any competition is to come out of it as one who has an attitude of true sportsmanship, no matter what happens.

The same can be said for life when you make winning your choice. Any time your job seems difficult with regards to achieving your goals, you can win by using that as a learning experience. No matter how other employees act, you can be a winner by always maintaining a good work ethic. In addition, winners also have the attitude of being a team player in any business.

By making winning your choice, you will experience some form of winning, no matter what happens in the experience.
