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,
and 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!

To stay on top of your game you need to be "very individualistic. Tiger Woods has been described as individualistic, and has even described himself as such. "Just be yourself" and be sure you know who you are, with that; you can take control of your destiny. "Control yourself - and you control you destiny”, says Tiger.

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!

What Clients are Saying

  • I came to Ida with many years experience in my industry, but having been removed from it for a few years I need coaching. Within the first few months of returning to the business, Ida's coaching and support established me as a Top Producer for her company.

    I have since gone into teaching and use Ida's coaching strategies on a daily basis. They not only help me to get the outcome I want with my students. I have had several opportunities to share her ideas with my students so that they can succeed in the class room and in life.

    Ida's dedication to her student's success always goes above and beyond.
