Set Yourself Up For Success!
Many people have heard of the idea of “playing to not lose” at least a few times in their life. If you haven’t, you have now. This idea is heard frequently when a person, or a team, goes into a competition focused completely on NOT losing.
All they think about is not losing.
And what usually ends up happening, is they end up losing.
Focusing on what you don’t want, while not only counter intuitive, is the best way to get exactly what you don’t want.
If you are in a game, just trying to “not lose” is like being on the defensive until your opponent wins. Does that sound effective? Instead of going for the victory, you’re just trying to keep the other person from getting points, and, once the game is over, you come to realize that you have missed every opportunity that was put in front of you to score, because you were way too focused on not losing.
Why don’t you try winning for a change?
Yeah, I know, that’s a crazy idea.
If you’ve got a target to go towards and not away from, you will move towards that goal. When you are always thinking about things you don’t want happening, your mind only recognizes that focus as another goal! Your mind does not understand that you don’t want to have that thing happen. It doesn’t know that you “don’t want to fail”. All it sees is you, focused on failing. So guess what ends up happening? That’s right, you end up failing.
You must have something that you can aim for. It’s not any different from aiming at a pin when you’re bowling, or at the hole when you’re golfing. Know what you WANT, and know how to get there.
Give yourself a direction to head in to set yourself up for success, and not failure.
If you’re looking for a real job online, decide what it is that will make that online job real! If you are just trying to believe you can do it in the first place, focus on that!
