Thought

I just read this, and wanted to pass it along:

"Winning is not a sometime thing; its an all the time thing.  You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time.  Winning is a habit.  Unfortunately, so is losing."    Vince Lombardi

I guess the main thing that makes that stick out to me so much, is because of situations of people around us.  Most of battles that we undergo start in the mind.  Making the right decision doesn't just happen once in a lifetime, or even just once a day.  Making  the right decision is a series of choices, moment by moment.  You are training yourself, in every decision, to either be a winner or a loser.  No one just "finds themselves" in a bad situation, in a bad marriage, in bad relationships, just like no one just "finds themselves" having a wonderful life, with an amazing marriage, and meaningful relationships.  They all got to that point from somewhere, and that "somewhere" was a series of choices, moment by moment.
