What does it take to be a winner? Could it be perseverance, determination, hard
work, integrity, or perhaps a winning attitude? I’m actually asking you! What
drives you to be a winner? Could it be passion, you have something to prove, or
enjoy the challenge?
I know from being an athlete, I did not like to lose;
however, we all lose at something. I
recall getting out there in practice determined it will not happen again. Or I would get a “C” on a paper that I knew
deserved an “A” in my mind. So instead of getting upset and just not trying, I
would ask the teacher what I did wrong. Once he/she explained to me why I got
that “C”, I swallowed my pride and used that information to improve each time
we had a writing assignment~ until I received that “A”! And it didn’t stop with just that one!
We as a people (in general) want the “A”; however, we don’t
do “A” work! We throw a bone at you and feel it’s enough! What it takes to be a winner is “discipline”,
first, and second “dedication”! Start there, and all else will eventually
follow, and then you will be deserving of an “A”!

Do you not know that in a race all the runners
run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.
They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to
others I myself should be disqualified. I Corinthians 9:24-27 ESV
