It really is great to be you, isn't it?
And it is a great idea to let yourself know just how good your really are. That is what winning is all about. Feeling good about yourself. Knowing that you are happy with who you are and how you are living your life.
Winning at anything or being a winner in life, all starts with what you tell yourself about you--what you believe about yourself.
Here is a piece that I have had for a long time. The author is unknown, but his/her words are right on the mark...
Attitude Determines Altitude
Unlike some things in life, we can choose out outlook. Sometimes we just need a reminder that happiness can often simply be a result of choosing attitudes;
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because I have been provided with shelter.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

As has been said, "It is NOT your APTITUDE, but your ATTITUDE, that will determine your ALTITUDE in life."
WINNING comes from WITHIN.
If you are not satisfied with where you are in your life at this moment in time, then you must CHANGE in order to become what you want to become.
And remember, "The tiger who does not prowl is a potential rug."
Only YOU can determine your life today and tomorrow.
