2 Easy Never Lose Strategies
Life is full of difficulties, as well as a few unexpected turns in the wrong direction now and then. When things go wrong or do not go according to plan, or when something occurs to knock us off balance and cause us to question ourselves, it may be difficult to cope. After all, we all want things to go well and for us to emerge as ‘winners.’ However, life will constantly present us with obstacles, and we cannot control everything. Neither should we attempt it. What matters is not what happens to you, but what you do with what occurs to you. Here are two simple strategies for always coming out on top.

1. Concentrate on Your Assets
Regrettably, we are a collection of paradoxes. Sometimes joyful, occasionally sad; occasionally optimistic, occasionally pessimistic; occasionally childlike, occasionally adult. Additionally, we have a slew of strengths and weaknesses that influence what we do and how we do it, but we prefer to concentrate on our shortcomings rather than our strengths.
A strength is something you do consistently well — it’s something you’re born with the ability to do well, something you’re hard-wired to perform well, and something that brings you intrinsic pleasure. It may be confronting and resolving difficult issues, empathizing with others, possessing an active imagination, or the ability to cook the perfect omelet.
Concentrating on your strengths rather than your weaknesses makes a lot of sense. When you concentrate on your shortcomings, you feel terrible about yourself and your abilities, but when you focus on and play to your strengths, you are sure to get results and may even negate the negative impact of your deficiencies.
2. Arrange Things Ahead Of Time
While there may be occasions when you can simply go into something, perform wonderfully, and get the desired outcome (usually if you play to your strengths), there will also be instances when you will stumble ahead, wing it, and fail to achieve the desired result. Whatever obstacles or possibilities you face, you’ll have a far greater chance of achieving success if you set things up for success in advance.
Therefore, what do you want to occur? What would be an ideal solution, outcome, or result? Get crystal clear about the result you want from the situation at hand and how it would feel to achieve it. Then begin dissecting it – what can you do to create the stage for your desired outcome? What measures must be taken? What will help you achieve your goals? And what are you ready to do to guarantee the best outcome?
