I can say I am a winner if I won something TODAY, no matter how small, no one can take that away from me.
Figure Out How to Win Something Every Day and You’ll Never Truly Lose.
I will start this blog off with a quick story about this topic as it pertains to my own life. As
I write this blog, I have covid and have been cooped up for three days in my room. This is now
the third, maybe even fourth time that I have had covid throughout this pandemic. This
particular time has been more difficult because I really only felt sick for one day and have felt
fine the rest of the time. In the past couple of experiences, I just sat and sat and sat and
complained about going stir crazy and things I could not really control. This made the escape
from quarantine that much sweeter, but I basically wasted five days of my life for no good
reason. This time around I was not going to let that happen. I have done many little things; cut
the grass, cleaned all my golf gear, walked the dog, written multiple blogs, done some putting,
ran 11k, etc.
I have learned that it is so easy to complain and just sit there. It feels almost like
someone is going to praise you for resting and being civilized, for doing what most people
would and being suffice with the mediocrity of that. I am not searching for validation for doing
a bunch of small things as I am fully aware people do way more than this on a daily basis. I used
this scenario I am in to show the importance of trying to win something every day. It is not
about the size of the victory and it is not about the praise you may get from it. It is about
getting yourself used to doing difficult things and keeping your mind focused on productive
things, this way you are always prepared to go to war with whatever challenge lies in front of
you.
There is never any finish line in life. The lesson I am learning is that we push ourselves
harder and harder to get to a certain point and then think it is okay to chill out for a while and
take some time off. Winning things in life is a constant and involves doing things that make you
feel accomplished in whatever it is you are passionate about. It is vital to our own sanity and
becoming a winner in this world. There will always be certain times where rest is required and
celebration feels like a necessity, so go ahead and celebrate. Life is about enjoyment, but we
cannot reserve this enjoyment only for the end of long journeys and winning competitions. This
sort of winning can come in so many forms and at many different times in our lives, it can even
happen multiple times in the same day. That is what we should be chasing, not just the parties
or the trophies. Those things are great and all, but when we do not get these things, we should
not feel like losers. I can say I am a winner if I won something TODAY, no matter how small, no
one can take that away from me.

think that it is very important to discuss how I have combatted anxiety, how I struggled/struggle with it and give a few pointers that I have learned through the years from professionals and my own research.
There have been many dark times in my life where I regret my emotional outbursts and inability to see certain situations with clarity.
