The Psychology of Winning 

                              -Denis Waitley 

• Quality 1: Positive Self- Expectancy 

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

• 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."

• Quality 3: Positive Self-Image

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

• 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."

• 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."

• 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."

• Quality 7: Positive Self-Esteem

"Your mood and outlook on life affect the way you see the world and how you interact in it. Total winners are positive, powerful people who make people feel good and provide a good vibe to those around him/her."
