Sureness, The "How" to Create Wins!

Sureness.

How do you give up the good opinion of other people? How do you deprecate other people’s beliefs and create more wins? Sureness.

When you are sure, when you are confident, you are in character. Sureness in your judgment, your wisdom (thought process), all that creates your character and your character is what keeps you on top of your game.

Confidence comes from your self-esteem. When you have self-esteem you are living a life according to reason and your own principles which you have become sure of.

Research shows you can not loose something you don't have - so if you have it, sureness, you can stay the course. On the course, in life, every shot - every time - one shot at a time, one day at a time.

If SURENESS is collapsed - it is a known fact it was by a cumulative result of a long succession of defaults, evasions and irrationality; most often a succession of failures to use one's mind properly in the moment!

Coach John Wooden, one of the greatest college coaches in history said it this way, "Be more concerned with your character then your reputation. Your character is who you really are, your reputation is merely what others think you are."

Have you ever been in a position where you knew intellectually you should do something? Immaturity is when our emotions take over and you loose sight of the big picture.

Maturity is the ability to think in terms of principles. To be sure of your principles, is the ability to stay clear. And, it takes clarity to win.

The first women to win an election in Europe as Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher knew her principles, what she was sure of and how to give up the good opinion of other people.

"I am not hard, she said- I'm frightfully soft. But I will not be hounded." Now, that is sureness of ones character.

Here is what I know for sure. The words you use to decide your life, or golf game and "the experience"-, becomes the experience - on AND off the course!
