Many of us are programmed to expect to win every time we play. That s impossible. Coming out ahead more than half the time is the definition of a winning season. Second, embark on a campaign to strengthen your self-confidence. Find as many as you can and keep doing them until those victories are nearly automatic.
Big achievements are the culmination of a series of small ones.
It s a matter of doing the basics until you completely trust your ability, then expanding and combining them into more significant achievements. You have to walk before you can run. Don t let a lack of self-confidence keep you from using your full potential to reach your goals. Many people who run in a marathon say that their objective was to reach the finish line, not to be first. Do what marathon runners, top athletes, and all other successful people do - learn to do the basics well and do them every day.
