One thing for sure, winners will always find an answer to any situation. Most of the time, negative people are the problem. Which one are you?

When life gets tough, as it does for all of us, are you the whinner who tells everyone your problems, or the leader who takes control and comes up with the answer?

You get it? Winners have an answer for every problem. Negative people only see problems with no answers.

Come on now, do you have a plan or an excuse? Accomplishments only come from hard work and commitment. That’s why winners will only see the gains, while negative people will see the pain.

I was fortunate to be raised by a father who was a high school football coach. I was around sports my entire life as a player and a coach. As most of you know, I competed in sports well into my late 50’s.

The message I’m trying to relay is that sports teaches athletes the lessons from losing, along with the rewards of winning.

In life, just like every sport, you are going to get knocked down. You’ll be faced with serious life changing events, so what’s your character? Are you ready to put your head to the grind and come up with an answer?

Even when you’re giving life your best, each of us will face one or all of the following; death of a loved one, divorce, bankruptcy, bad news from the doc, unemployment, or fill in the blank.

Just know, if you are reading this article, you are already a winner. More than likely, you have a place to live that homeless people would love. I’m sure you have a job that unemployed people would want.

Did you know between 713 and 757 million people are hungry and undernourished every day? How about you? Is your belly full as you tuck yourself to bed?

Listen, the whole purpose is for you to realize how much a winner we all are. Stop seeing the negatives that some outlets try to shove down our throats. Nope, we are better than that, and that’s why as winners, we find answers to lift those up around us.
