Win or Lose This Is What I Look For
Talk With The Video
Summary
- I strive to be the kind of father who emphasizes effort over outcome, valuing hard work regardless of whether my child wins or loses.
- When my kid wins effortlessly, I want to challenge him to push harder, not just celebrate the victory.
- If my child loses but has given it their all, I'll be proud and show my support for their dedication.
- I'm constantly working on separating my sense of achievement from just winning; it's a tough mental shift, but it's important.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a focus on effort over outcome. This means when you see someone, like a kid or a team member, win without much effort, encourage them to find a bigger challenge. Do this by asking them questions like "Did you give it your all?" or "What can you do next time to push yourself further?"
On the other hand, when there's a loss but you can tell they've put in everything they had, show your pride. Say things like "I can tell you worked really hard," or "Your dedication is what matters most."
For a small business or personal growth, apply this same mindset. If you find success too easily, maybe you're not setting your goals high enough. Try taking on more challenging projects.
Also, practice separating your self-worth from just winning. Remind yourself daily that true success comes from the effort you put in, not just the end result. Keep a journal and write down what you have learned and how hard you have worked each day. This will help you see your progress.
Remember, it's tough to shift your mindset to value hard work over just winning, but it's a crucial step in personal and professional growth. Keep at it every day, and you'll start to notice a change in how you approach challenges.
