BECOMING A WINNER PART I

It is very important to develop the winning attitude in life if you really want to become a winner in life. Sometimes people become complacent in life that they forget to pursue what ever agenda God has for their lives. The world is looking for winners to follow. Looser has no place in the economy of a nation. Loser would always become slaves to those who win life. Decision making is vested in only those who can do the following things I have outlines below;
1. A WINNER TACKLES NEW THINGS
The world is already made up of the inventions and the discoveries of others. If your name would be added to the hall of fame, it means you would have to tackle new things that have never been seen before. A winner will dare to go for a challenge and if he triumphs he is celebrated.
We would all remember the story of a Hebrew boy named David who was asked by his father to take food to the brothers on the battle field. This young man has never been enrolled in the army neither has he been in battle before. Infact he was under the age of going to battle but he became a hero in the history of Israel because he had the mind of tackling new things (A Winner)

From the story of this young man I learnt the following lessons;



a. HE TRAINED HIMSELF AS A WINNER
David was born as a looser. All the circumstances that surround the birth of David show that he should have been a looser in life. he was born out of wedlock which is against the norms and culture of Israel. He was asked to over see heads of sheep in the wilderness where he was prone to danger of the weather, wild animals, and hunger.

Despite all circumstances surrounding David, he still trained himself to think like a winner.

b. HE KNEW THERE WAS A CAUSE
When the brothers asked him why he came to the battle field, he said to them there is a cause. Winners always know there is a cause for their existence. He did not run away from the situation because of his age or lack of formal training but he faced the situation.


c. HE DID NOT GIVE UP BECAUSE OF THE GIANT

David went ahead to ask what would be done for the man who kills the giant who harassed the people of God. At that moment all the people were running away from the giant including the commander himself.

He saw the giant as an opportunity to greatness. Winners always see opportunities in situations that seem hopeless. If you want to be a winner, you would have to develop yourself to see opportunities in all situations.

d. HE DID NOT USE THE SKILLS OF OTHERS
In life you can not use what some one have to win your victories. You need your training to become what you want to be. When the king Saul asked him to use his armories, he wore them alright but told the king he would want to fight the giant with his own skills and armories.

e. HE WAS AN EXPERT
David was an expert in using the catapult. It took the catapult to kill the giant whiles the guns and the javelins could not kill the giant. Whatever field you find yourself, you have to be expert in that field.
