You're probably thinking "Of course I'm a winner". No one wants to think of themselves as a loser. The problem though, is that in life, many people who think they are winners, in reality, are actually losers.
Here are 7 major differences between winners and losers. Make sure to take a minute between each to fully make sure you are a winner. And if not, well, it's time to switch your thoughts and actions and start winning.
1) Winners congratulate other winners. Losers are secretly jealous/envious of winners. When someone at your job gets a promotion, are you happy for them? Or are you secretly wishing it were you instead? Real winners are secure with their abilities and aren't threatened by others. They understand that there is an abundance of opportunity and as long as they focus on being the best version of themselves, then the universe will deliver to them exactly what they deserve.
2) Winners talk about solutions. Losers complain about their problems. Losers whine. They complain. It's too cold. It's too hot. Nothing is good enough. If someone gave them $20, they'd complain that it should have been $40. When they see a problem, the only thing they know to do is share that problem with everyone they come in contact with. Winners don't complain. They know that complaining is a waste of energy and reserved for losers, and instead only see problems as temporary obstacles that they must tackle and find a solution to.
3) Winners realize they don't know what they don't know. Losers know everything. Winners are life long students. If they're not reading books, they're listening to audios, or watching training videos, or attending training events, or speaking with people they admire and learning from them. Even if they don't admire that person, they understand that every person they come in contact with is an opportunity to learn something new. Not losers. They already know everything. Their way is the right way. Anything else is the wrong way. There's no point in reading books or listening to audios or attending seminars, because they have it all figured out.
4) Winners take responsibility. Losers blame. You can easily spot a loser because when something goes wrong, it's everyone's fault but theirs. They live miserable, unhappy lives not because they want to, but because their boss, and their spouse, and their kids, and the weather, and the president, and the economy is to blame. If only everything else around them were perfect, their lives would be better. Winners take responsibility for everything. Not only do they take responsibility when things go wrong, they refuse to take credit when things go right. If they lead a team to failure, that failure rests on their shoulders. If that team is lead to a win, then it's because the team worked hard and earned it. Winners win because they acknowledge the support of others in their successes. Losers only pop their heads up to try and take the credit.
5) Losers make excuses. Winners make a way. You know you've found a loser when they complain about how unhappy they are, or how hard something is to do, then when you suggest a solution to them, it's "yeah, but...". They're not complaining to you so you can offer solutions. They don't want solutions, they want to complain. They want attention. Excuses are their way of saying "I would do something about this problem, but I enjoy complaining about it more." Winners know what they want, then find a way to make it happen. Hell or high water. If you want to see a massive explosion, just put a brick wall in between a winner and their goals and when the smoke clears, all you'll see is the winner standing on a pile of rubble, goals in hand.
6) Winners give. Losers take. Winners live in a state of abundance. They have more than enough resources to live a fulfilled life. That's why they are always willing to give a helping hand. They also understand the law of reciprocity, give and you shall receive. They don't give in expectation of receiving, but give knowing that receiving is part of the natural order of things. Losers don't understand that role. They live lives of scarcity, of not enough resources. So when they do get a hold of something, they hold on to it so tightly that there's no more room to receive anything else. They live in fear of losing what they have so they never give. They have a "I'll give when I have enough" mentality, not realizing that until they give, they'll never have enough.
7) Winners choose to design their lives. Losers let life happen to them. Winners are bold. They're unconventional. When you tell them something can't be done, they don't take that as fact, they take that as a challenge. They learn the rules of the game not so they can play by them, but so they know how to break them. Losers accept the status quo because, well, they're losers. While winners seek freedom, losers seek security. Losers expect others to take care of them and feel entitled to having the finer things in life. Winners know better than to expect such nonsense and instead, go out and earn their place in life.
Winners win. Losers lose.
