Winners Focus On Winning

Drewbie Wilson • July 5, 2022

"The only person you should be comparing yourself to is the person you were yesterday. As long as you are getting better, then you are winning."

There was an old motivational meme poster with Michael Phelps and some other racer on it and the other guy is focused on Phelps, but Phelps is focused on the finish line.


And it read, “Losers focus on winners, and winners focus on winning!” 


This is true in business, sports, and any other competition. The reason that many people do not win is that they are focused on their competitors instead of themselves.


While it is important to know what your competitors are doing, you should never take your eye off of the prize.


The only person that you should be focused on beating is yourself. If you focus on becoming better than you were yesterday, then the competition will take care of itself.


When you get caught up in trying to beat other people, you will only end up losing yourself in the process.


If you want to win, you have to focus on winning. The way to win is to focus on your performance and not worry about what anyone else is doing. You have to be so focused on winning that you do not even see your competitors.


You have to be focused on your goals and what it will take to achieve them. If you can do this, then the results will take care of themselves.


And the only way to do this is to have a burning desire to win. If you do not have a burning desire to win, then you will never win. You have to want it more than anything. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes to win. This means that you have to be prepared to put in the hard work.


You have to be willing to sacrifice. You have to be willing to give up your social life, your hobbies, and anything else that gets in the way because the only thing that matters is winning.


It is also important that you should stop comparing yourself to others.


This is a surefire way to lose because you will always find someone better than you. Instead, focus on your performance and what you need to do to improve.


The only person you should be comparing yourself to is the person you were yesterday. As long as you are getting better, then you are winning. It is a hard habit to break but if you can focus on winning, then you will be successful.


I can relate to this because I have been caught in the comparison game more often than I admit. But when I start to focus on my goals and what it will take to achieve them, I find that I am more successful. Sometimes, we even let our emotions and thoughts get the best of us. We focus on what everyone else is doing and how they are better than us, but we need to remember that we are in control of our thoughts and emotions because they will never get us closer to our goals.


Whatever you want out of life can be yours if you are willing to work hard and stay committed but do not let the fact that someone else may seem a little farther ahead keep you from running your best race because, at the end of the day, all that matters is that you finish.


Just like the story of the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race. It does not matter how fast or slow you are as long as you keep moving forward because the only way to fail is to quit.


If you want to win, then you cannot afford to quit. You have to be willing to put in the work and stay focused on your goals until you reach them.


And if you are focusing on the other guy, you will find it difficult to be in the right place!


The next time you find yourself feeling down or defeated, remember that winners focus on winning and not on their competitors. It is a simple change in perspective but it can make a big difference in your success.


And when you finally win, it will all be worth it. Because when you win, you get to prove to everyone else that they were wrong about you. You get to show them that you are the best. And you get to enjoy the sweet taste of victory.


Focus on your goals and what it will take to achieve them and let the results take care of themselves. And always remember, the only way to fail is to quit. So, never give up and always keep moving forward.


Start thinking like a winner today and see how your life changes!
