Chapter 14: Play to Win

What is Playing to Win? 

Focus on Your Healthy Mindset

Life is a game. We are all players, and the only way to win is to play to win. But what does that mean? It means being mindful of our actions and not reacting out of anger or jealousy. It means wishing others well and striving to be our best selves. It means being in harmony with ourselves and embracing the journey that life has in store for us.

What is Playing to Win? 

For athletes, playing to win means being focused and determined to achieve the desired outcome. It requires complete dedication to the game and a refusal to give up. In order to play to win, athletes must be in control of their own thoughts and emotions, as well as their physical movements. The ability to control one's thoughts and emotions is what separates good athletes from great ones. 

Great athletes are able to block out distractions and keep their minds focused on the task at hand. They refuse to let their emotions get the best of them, and they always maintain a level head. Similarly, great athletes are also in complete control of their bodies. They execute each movement with precision, and they have total confidence in their abilities. Playing to win requires that athletes be in complete control of themselves, both mentally and physically. Those who can achieve this state of mind and body are the ones who find success on the playing field. 

In life, playing to win means setting and achieving goals. It means taking action instead of reacting to circumstances. And it means always striving to be your best self. When you play to win in life, you are one with yourself. You are focused and dedicated to achieving your goals. And you refuse to let anything or anyone stand in your way. You know that the only person you need to beat is yourself. And so, you strive each and every day to become a better version of yourself.
