Winners are proactive, not reactive. Winners create new circumstances instead of reacting to them.

If you know someone who is continually complaining about their circumstances, they are practicing reactivity.

If you know someone who is continually working to create a better life for themselves, their family, and their community, they are practicing proactivity.

During the stay-at-home orders of the Novel-Coronavirus Pandemic, reactive people are sitting around complaining about their circumstances. Proactive winners are finding joy in their circumstances and helping others.

“If you are proactive, you don’t wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.” – Stephen R. Covey.

If you don’t like the way things are, complaining won’t change your circumstances – action will.

If you go into a situation expecting to fail, you will fail. If you go in expecting to succeed, you are more likely to succeed. If you go into it fearing losing, you are more likely to lose.

If two evenly matched teams clash on the field of play, which team is more likely to win? The team that went into the game with a winning attitude.

If you expect to victorious, you’re odds of being victorious are greater. The late legendary football coach, Bear Bryant, went into each game with a winning attitude, and it was said that his winning attitude was worth at least one touchdown for the Crimson Tide.

Ziz Ziglar wrote, “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”

By cultivating a winning attitude, you will be sustained even when the odds seem stacked against you.
