One of the acts that make people to be failing in life is lack of willingness to plan and prepare to face the challenges of their lives.Vince Lombardi once said,"Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win." This is very correct as most people spend more time planning a party or vacation than planning their lives.
Preparation
Confidence comes from preparation, which is nothing but planning and practicing. Winners put pressure on themselves. That is the pressure of preparing and not worrying about winning.
If we practice poorly, we play poorly; because we play as we practice. The difference between success and failure is the difference between doing exactly right and almost right.
A complete mental and physical preparation is the result of sacrifice and self-discipline. It is easy to be average but tough to be the best. No wonder the average people take the easy way.
Preparation is the necessary edge to succeed in any field.
Purpose + Principle + Planning + Practice + Perseverance + Patience + Pride = Preparation
Preparation leads to Confidence
Preparation means tolerating failure but never accepting it. It means having the courage to face defeat without feeling defeated, being disappointed without being discouraged.
Preparation means learning from our mistakes. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. We all do. A fool is one who makes the same mistake twice. A person who makes a mistake and doesn't correct it, commits a bigger one.
The best way to handle a mistake is to
. admit it quickly
. not dwell on it
. learn from it
. not repeat it
. not assign blame or make excuses
Pressure comes from being unprepared. There is no substitute for preparation, practice and hard work. Desire and wishful thinking won't do it. Only preparation will give you the competitive edge.
Pressure can paralyze when a person is not prepared. Just like water gravitates to its own path, success gravitates to those who are prepared. Weak effort gets weak results.
Persistence is a name we give to
. a purpose
. preparation
. patience
. principles
. positive attitude
. a plan .
. price .
. practice
. pride
Ask yourself the following question to evaluate yourself:
Do you have a clearly defined purpose?
Do you have a plan of action?
What effort are you putting into preparation?
What price are you willing to pay? How far are you willing to go?
Do you have the patience to withstand the gestation period?
Are you willing to practice toward excellence?
Do you have any firm principles to stand on?
Do you have pride in your performance?
Do you have the "can do" attitude?
