There is a Winner Inside Each of Us
There is a Winner Inside Each of Us
By
Nancye Sims
Winners take chances.
Like everyone else, they fear failing,
But they refuse to let fear control them.
Winners don’t give up.
When life gets rough, they hang in
until the going gets better.
Winners are flexible.
They realize there is more than one way
and are willing to try others.
Winners know they are not perfect.
They respect their weaknesses
while making the most of their strengths.
Winners fall, but they don’t stay down.
They stubbornly refuse to let a fall
keep them from climbing.
Winners don’t blame fate for their failures
nor luck for their successes.
Winners are positive thinkers
who see good in all things.
Form the ordinary, they make the extraordinary.
Winners believe in the path they have chosen
Even when it’s hard,
even when others can’t see where they are going.
Winners are patient.
They know a goal is only as worthy
as the effort that’s required to achieve it.
