Got a winning attitude?
I saw an interview with golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. He was discussing his pre-shot routine. He said that before he hit the ball or even took a practice swing, in his mind’s eye he saw the ball landing exactly where he wanted it to go. He imagined the ball’s path to the cup or the landing spot in the fairway. Then he took his practice swing, again seeing the ball go where he wanted it. Only then did he actually hit the ball.
Nicklaus’ visioning process before each shot developed within him a winning attitude. He started expecting to see the ball go where he wanted to hit it, believed that he could do it time after time, and so he did.
Have you made your New Year’s resolution yet? If you have, how do you see yourself—with a winning attitude? Do you imagine that you’ll accomplish your goal?
You can do what Jack Nicklaus did and it’s virtually a spiritual exercise. You can reach your New Year’s goals. Positively perceive a winning you. See yourself as a winner as you listen to life and make a positive life, not just a living, in a negative world.
