How you perceive yourself can shape how you perform. If you see yourself as a loser, your approach becomes careless and lackluster. But if you consider yourself a winner, you train with intensity, set high expectations, and work diligently. This article examines why people view themselves as winners or losers and how they can change this perception.
Steve Siebold, in "177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class," shares his journey as a tennis enthusiast. Despite having talent and desire, his self-belief sometimes wavered:
> "When I believed I was a champion, I trained like one. When I doubted myself, I trained like a loser."
As a ten-year-old, Siebold frequently won matches, nurturing his champion mindset. However, as his rankings dropped over time, he stopped expecting victories, and his training suffered.
Though his desire to be a champion remained, his self-belief weakened through associations with the "middle class"?"those content with mediocrity. In contrast, the "world class" strives to excel, whether in sports or business.
Reflecting on my own school journey at age 11, I initially worked hard and excelled. Yet, after advancing a year, peer influence changed my self-perception. Labeled a "swat" or "bighead," my efforts and self-esteem declined. It took years to rebuild confidence, aided by thinkers like Norman Vincent Peale and Stuart Goldsmith.
Goldsmith's "The Midas Method" argues that many of us are conditioned to believe in limits we cannot surpass. Recognizing these "ceilings" as imaginary empowers us to achieve remarkable results.
To break free from limiting beliefs, we should question their origins, often rooted in the views of those who think great achievements are rare. Instead of heeding the "middle class," we should embrace world-class ideas. Replace negative self-talk with empowering beliefs and work diligently toward your dreams.
Achieving this doesn't require a psychology degree. A blend of commonsense and insights from thinkers like Siebold and Goldsmith can guide us. Even without world-class neighbors or friends, you have access to world-class ideas through books, audios, and videos. The internet further expands this access.
It's time for you and me to embrace our championship potential and join the ranks of the world class.
