Choose To Win By Tom ZiglarEsimerkki

If someone told you they were going to give you three pounds of gold, what purity level of the gold would you want? Fifty percent? Ninety percent? No, you would want as close to 100 percent as possible. The purer the gold, the more value to you. Your brain weighs about three pounds. Would you sell your brain for three pounds of pure gold? Of course not! Your brain is priceless. Question: Why would you allow anything to negatively impact the purity of your brain? The input that you choose to allow into your mind impacts your choices, and your choices determine your outcome. Are you ready for a transformation? The reality is, every single one of us has had things happen to us that are not good, that tear us down, that if we accept as “this is just the way it is” will limit our potential and negatively impact our future. The good news is you can make a choice right now to change your input and change your beliefs about what has happened to you in the past. You have a choice. You can choose to allow the problems to be an excuse for why you can’t do something, or you can become solution focused and choose to do it anyway. • You can choose the right input, which will change your attitude, beliefs, and mind-set. . . . • You can choose to have a why bigger than yourself. • You can choose to transform yourself into the person God created you to become. Living to win is a choice! What choices are you going to make right now that will transform you? . . . Choosing the right input isn’t complicated. All you have to do is ask yourself this simple question: Is what I am • reading, • viewing on the internet (social media, etc.), • listening to, • watching on TV, • discussing with a friend, coworker, or family member, and • saying to myself in self-talk, bringing me closer to achieving my desires, creating more hope that I can achieve my desires, and adding to what I need to develop with grit? Yikes! That is a tough question, isn't it? I said it was a simple question, not an easy question.
