The Psychology of Winning: 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

Quality 1:  Positive Self-Expectancy 

"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win."

TO HAVE POSITIVE SELF EXPECTANCY IS IMPORTANT. THIS MEANS TO KNOW AND HOPE FOR POSITIVE THINGS FOR YOURSELF. THIS ALSO MEANS TO NOT HAVE A VERY NEGATIVE ATTITUDE. IT IS IMPORTANT O HAVE POSITIVE THOUGHTS FOR MANY REASONS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE POSITIVE THOUGHTS OR A POSITIVE ATTITUDE THEN NOTHING POSITIVE WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. YOU SHOULD ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT IN ORDER TO HAVE POSITIVE VIBES AND HAVE POSITIVE ENERGY WITH THOSE AROUND YOU, YOU SHOULD NOT SPREAD NEGATIVITY. I THINK I DO ALWAYS KEEP A MINDSET WITH POSITIVE SELF EXPECTANCY. I ALWAYS EXPECT THE BEST OUTCOME FROM EVERYTHING AND NEVER LOOK BACK. I DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE NEGATIVE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GET ME ANYWHERE. I AM VERY GLAD TO HAVE THIS MINDSET FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS, AND I KNOW THAT ALL OF THIS WILL REALLY HELP ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 

Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation 

"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE POSITIVE SELF MOTIVATION. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. MOTIVATION ALONE IS ACTUALLY REALLY IMPORTANT. HAVING A POSITIVE SELF MOTIVATION ATTITUDE ALLOWS YOU TO GO FURTHER IN LIFE. I BELIEVE I HAVE POSITIVE SELF MOTIVATION PERSONALITY. THIS HAS HELPED ME BUILD NEW FRIENDSHIPS IN SCHOOL. THIS HAS ALSO GAVE ME THE PRIVILEGE TO GO TO A GOOD SCHOOL. HAVING A POSITIVE MOTIVATION ALWAYS GIVE ME STRENGTH AND CONFIDENCE TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON AND TO TRY NEW THINGS IN LIFE. I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO USE THIS QUALITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN COLLEGE. I KNOW I WILL NEED A LOT OF MOTIVATION BECAUSE LIFE ONLY GETS HARDER, AND I AM GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SAY I DO KNOW HOW TO MOTIVATE MYSELF. 

Quality 3: Positive Self-Image

True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.

HAVING A POSITIVE SELF IMAGE IS IMPORTANT. A SELF IMAGE IS THE WAY YOU VIEW YOURSELF. POSITIVE MEANS GOOD, THE OPPOSITE OF NEGATIVE. TO HAVE A POSITIVE SELF IMAGE IS TO HAVE A GOOD IMAGE OF YOURSELF. THIS MEANS THAT IN SOME WAY YOU HAVE GOOD SELF CONFIDENCE. HAVING GOOD SELF CONFIDENCE COMES IN HANDY ALL THE TIME. WHEN YOU HAVE GOOD SELF CONFIDENCE YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING A LOT HAPPIER. YOU DO NOT THINK ABOUT NEGATIVE THOUGHTS THAT WILL BRING YOU DOWN. I KNOW THAT IT IS HARD TO ALWAYS MAINTAIN A POSITIVE SELF IMAGE BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO AT LEAST ALWAYS TRY TO. I DON'T ALWAYS KEEP A POSITIVE SELF IMAGE BUT I TRY TO. KEEPING A POSITIVE SELF IMAGE CAN COME WITH EATING HEALTHY, WORKING OUT DAILY, AND EVEN BEING NICE TO 

OTHERS. PERSONALITY HAS A LOT TO DO WITH EVERYTHING. 

Quality 4: Positive Self-Direction

You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.

POSITIVE SELF-DIRECTION IS REALLY IMPORTANT. SELF- DIRECTION MEANS TO DIRECT YOURSELF IN MANY WAYS. THE WORD POSITIVE MEANS GOOD. SO WHEN YOU POSITIVE SELF-DIRECT YOURSELF IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE DIRECTING YOURSELF INTO A POSITIVE PATH. WHEN YOU DIRECT YOURSELF POSITIVELY YOU HAVE GOOD OUTCOMES FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS FOR YOURSELF. I THINK I HAVE POSITIVE SELF DIRECTION WITHIN MYSELF FOR MANY REASONS. IN THE NEAR FUTURE THIS WILL HELP ME IN THE FUTURE A LOT. I KNOW THAT POSITIVE SELF DIRECTION IN COLLEGE WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN I BEGIN TO FEEL UNENCOURAGED IN MANY WAYS. THIS WILL HELP ME REALIZE MY GOALS AND WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO REACH THEM. BASICALLY THIS IS GOING TO HELP ME GET BACK ON TRACK. 

Quality 5: Positive Self-Control

Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.

SELF CONTROL IS VERY IMPORTANT IN LIFE. TO HAVE SELF CONTROL IS TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WHEN YOU HAVE SELF CONTROL YOU HAVE LIMITS, HOWEVER YOU MAKE THOSE LIMITS YOURSELF. I BELIEVE I HAVE SELF CONTROL IN A POSITIVE WAY. THE REASON BEING IS I CONSIDER MYSELF A MATURE INDIVIDUAL. I KNOW WHO I AM AND I KNOW WHAT I STAND FOR. I KNOW HOW TO CONTROL MYSELF BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT WHAT I DO AHEAD. I DO THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS EITHER GOOD CONSEQUENCES OR BAD CONSEQUENCES TO ANYTHING I CHOOSE TO DO. I KNOW ALL OF THIS WILL HELP ME GREATLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR A VARIOUS AMOUNT OF REASONS. THIS WILL ALLOW ME TO EXPAND AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND THIS WILL HELP ME DEVELOP INTO THE BEST PERSON I CAN BE. THIS WILL ALSO BENEFIT ME IN THE WAY OF BECOMING A PERSON WHO IS VERY RESPONSIBLE AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY ACTIONS NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME IS. 

Quality 6: Positive Self-Discipline

You have to discipline yourself or else someone else will discipline you into doing what they want you to do. Total winners have the power to discipline and take control of their lives.

POSITIVE SELF DISCIPLINE IS VERY IMPORTANT. DISCIPLINE ITSELF IS A HUGE FACTOR OF LIFE. IT IS WHAT HELPS YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. MANY CONFUSE DISCIPLINE FOR PUNISHMENT BUT IN REALITY IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THAT. DISCIPLINE IS NOT ALWAYS A PUNISHMENT, IT JUST MEANS THAT ITS SOMETHING YOU SET FOR YOURSELF TO LEARN AND NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES OVER AGAIN. POSITIVE SELF DISCIPLINE CAN MEAN TO PUNISH YOURSELF IN A GOOD WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO NOT PASS A CLASS, YOU SHOULD DISCIPLINE YOURSELF AND BECOME COMMITTED TO DOING ALL OF YOUR WORK SO THAT IN THE FUTURE YOU ARE ABLE TO PASS THAT CLASS. WITH DISCIPLINE COMES REWARDS. JUST LIKE YOU PUNISH YOURSELF WHEN DOING SOMETHING BAD, YOU SHOULD ALSO REWARD YOURSELF WHEN DOING SOMETHING GOOD. 

Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness
Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination.

SELF AWARENESS IS VERY IMPORTANT. BEING SELF AWARED KEEPS YOU MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR MANY REASONS. POSITIVE SELF AWARNESS IS WHAT ALLOWS YOU TO BECOME AWARE OF THE ACTIONS YOU ARE DOING. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS THAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO DO ANYTHING. BEING SELF AWARED POSITIVELY LETS YOU REALIZE THAT THERE IS CONSEQUENCES TO BAD ACTIONS. IN ADDITION, BEING SELF AWARED SHOWS YOU ALOT IN LIFE. INCLUDING FRIENDSHIPS. WHEN YOU ARE AWARE OF EVERYTHNIG GOING ON AROUND YOU, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY REALIZE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE HANGING OUT WITH THE RIGHT GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET RID OF ANY TOXIC PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE.
