This true warrior asks, “What kind of winner are you?”

Are warriors winners? What is a winner? What is a winning attitude? Why winning?

Some of us wonder why we can’t all just get along, without all the testosterone-fuelled competition? Why don’t you just accept your lot in life and trudge along the path set before you?

Can you see the picture that is being painted? Do you hear what you are being told? Can you feel the irony? Are you smiling to yourself right now? Do you get it?

You. Yes, you! We are talking to you! We are back to you. You have been given the power to choose. We humans are programmable—programmed by experience, peers, educators, family, environment, and genetics. More importantly, we can be self-programmed! The true warrior says, “Think priming!”

Priming the pump, priming the mind, priming the personality, priming your morals, priming your behaviour … all of it can be influenced and molded by your choices. Choose wisely. Think about it!

Want to be wealthy? Set aside ten per cent of all the money you receive and never spend it for any reason. Never borrow against it. Invest it, and make your ten per cent go to work for you, so that your money is making money! Not sure about this? Go over to that poor place in your city, where everyone spends all their money all the time. What’s it like there? Is that what you aspire to? Oops … maybe you live there already? Don’t like it there? Then don’t spend all your money. Put ten per cent away, and out of reach, every time it hits your palm. Live and grow on the remaining ninety per cent!

Can you do that? Don’t answer. Demonstrate it. Do it. Make it happen. Own the following statement: I have a becoming wealthy plan, and mindset. The true warrior knows that action cannot be thwarted when coupled with belief and faith!

You are risk adverse; don’t look at each event singly, or judge it. Instead, look at it as only one event in a lifetime of serial events, which must be judged in the whole. When you adopt this mindset and viewpoint, you will minimize the pain of loss and failure, as you will measure it in the context of your whole life. No one is right every time, so don’t regret the past, nor dwell on anything that didn’t quite go your way!

Laugh and jump for joy, as that is a far more productive response to mistake and failure—for someone who recognizes the opportunities offered by mistakes and failures, and realizes that (with the mind of a winner) it is a winner you will be. Losing is part and parcel of the game … so live it up and rejoice.

You are warriors, and if you embrace all of what that means, you will become wealthy. So it is written.
