If you want to be successful you are going to have to stop thinking like everyone else!
Everyone else judges performance based on wins and losses. 10% of the people in the world have 90% of the money. The same is true with success. If 9 out of 10 people judge performance based on wins and losses, then you need to be the 1 in 10 that does not.
What do successful people focus on? Evolution! Constant improvement. Have you ever seen an athlete in the Olympics or Championships a little dissatisfied after winning? Think hard. I am sure you can think of a few examples. And I can almost guarantee you said to yourself while watching, "I would be happy if I were that guy." Well, that is why you are you and he is him!
Failure is feedback, failure is never final (unless of course you quit or give up hope). The very best know the only way to succeed is to be positive, go all out, and learn from your mistakes. Failure is a part of the process. Rejection is a part of the process. Successful people have failed A LOT more than average ordinary people.

Thomas Edison did not fail 1,000 times, he found 1,000 ways not to invent the light bulb. -his words
Abraham Lincoln lost over 6 elections and a nervous breakdown.
All these things would make a normal person quit. But these people are not normal. And that is the key. You have to be uncommon to be great. Be the 1 in 10 people who do not think about wins and losses.
It is a liberating feeling to let go of wins and losses in your mind. It will free your mind to open up, go all out, take more chances, and as a result, succeed far more than you ever thought possible!
