What will make you a winner is your ability to channel all your energy to fulfilling your goals. There are things that you simply cannot control. The outside factors that affect your decisions change, and while you try not to wilt away; you must also face up to your challenges and responsibilities.

   Blaming others for the repercussions of the decisions that you made is the loser's way out.

   Loser is a horrible term, and even worse when this insult is directed to you. The most important factor to consider is how you'll react to these changes. In life, there are just some things that are out of our hands.

   You must have an alternate plan for every important decision you make, or else a slight change can send your entire effort into collapse.

   If you do fall down, your ability to get up will set you apart from all the ordinary people. The harder you'll fall, the more you'll strive. Winners just don't quit. They simply get up and carry these battle scars along with them as reminders of their courage and tenacity.

   Success only comes with some sacrifice on your part. Winners put in more hours than anybody else. If blood, sweat, and tears have to be offered, then you should do it without question. And if you feel that there are just too many forces working against you, just don't let these things break your will. A broken will is a shortcut to failure.

   Another secret to success is to believe in your talent and abilities no matter what anybody else says. No one knows you better, and no one understands you more than yourself. It's all in you, the knowledge and the capacity to surpass the things that hinder you from becoming who you can be.

   You can't please everybody all of the time, and some of these people may try to discourage you from moving forward. With self confidence you'll know how to channel these voices out and focus on making those who give you support happier.

   When you keep these secrets to success in mind, you can't help but become the confident person that you should be. You need to know that you can do it. It may not be in the way that you wanted, but the point here is that you can.

   What sets winners apart from the rest is confidence in their ability to dream big and to know that they can make their dreams happen. That's power.
