Words of the horse trainer: proper prior potent preparation prevents piddly poor performance. Always think of yourself as a horse trainer (not horse rider) then you have respect, perspective for self and horse. From the minute the horse sees you, you are training the horse, and the horse is training you. Check your attitude while walking up to the corral because the horse is checking your attitude. Horses eat grass; you eat lettuce/grass, not meat (lions eat meat.) before walking up to a horse, smell horsy. Don’t smile, not friendly; animals show teeth before biting. Relax, friends are not stiff. Don’t stare; lions stare intently at prey when stalking. Walk toward new horse casually, a bit sideways (Let horse look you over.) then toward horse. Lions stalk straight toward prey. Ask permission to touch horse’s nose by pausing your hand (grass smell) a foot from nose for couple of seconds. If horse moves head away, you moved too fast. All of the above just to give yourself a chance to win before even touching the horse. Think about how much of your life is spent in preparation, don’t waste it. Plan A requires a plan B, part of preparation. Takes longer to prepare a meal (Start with buying groceries.) than to eat it.

Losers depend on luck to win, not preparation. Luck is a heavy backpack of odds against you. The four elves: lonely, luckless, lazy, loser!

Pick a role model for guidance and converse. Mine was Abraham Lincoln. Pick friends who are a positive influence on you. Take a chance; help others. Doing so makes you a winner in their eyes. A frown is a heavy lift. A smile lightens the step for others. Hermits comfortably living in jewel encrusted caves overlooking a magnificent flourishing mountain lake are quite rare exceptions. Take a chance, and easily become more than you believe you can be by just doing little things that are important to others, like saying please, yes sir or excuse me. Being polite is to acknowledge another’s presence; you honor them. Abraham Lincoln is partly respected for after a work day walking miles to return six cents of a customer’s change. How many spouses, kids need a wink, a shoulder pat to make their day? Rescue someone you need to love; rescue yourself.

A winner’s mind rules his body. A loser’s body rules his mind. The body’s whining wants prevented a winning diet, a needed workout, a homework done. Some losers have subconscious inclinations fighting their winning mindset. The winner’s mind must align the body to achieve its goals. It is often a life long struggle. A marathon runner would not finish if her body was in command. But the mind cannot intensively, constantly sacrificed the body for anxiety laden goals without harm to body. Often the harm to self and others is not considered in the analysis of profit/award of the project, unfortunately.
