How To Be A Winner

Winning isn't always about being number one - winning is a state of mind - Zoe Koplowitz



Zoe is a 50 something American woman who is a diabetic and multiple sclerosis sufferer, she completed the 26 mile London Marathon on a pair of crutches - it took her 30 hours to complete, the winner completed the race 28 hours earlier. If you check on her website you will find that she has completed 22 marathons, coming last in each one, in her book "The Winning Spirit" she writes "There are times when last can truly be your first"

Sometimes, we need to look at what others are doing to realise that winning is indeed a state of mind. To be a winner is to recognise your strengths, start by writing them down, even the small ones, everything you are good at or proud of for example, I can make a really good curry!

Once you have listed everything, write them out again on post it notes and put them around your home, car, workspace.

Then start a list of things you would like to achieve, again put them on post it notes but give yourself a date that a) you will start and b) you will complete.

Next compile a list of things from the past you want to forget, then rip it up and throw it away.

From now on you will concentrate on your strengths and new challenges. With each step you take on your journey you will become a winner.
