You get what you expect, so why not expect to win!!!!
I was recently competing in a speech competition. This was my first time, so I expected not to win. I memorized the contest rules and disqualifications and thought that was enough. Why didn’t I expect to win? Why was I only doing just enough? Well I felt I already lost because some I was competing against had been competing for much longer.
I ended up placing 3rd place, yes 3rd place of many speeches. It’s good considering I didn’t expect to win nor place at all.
What would have happened if I expected to Win? What would have happen if I gave it my best? Lesson Learned. Always, I mean always expect to win. If I had expected to win, what would have happened? I could have possibly been the first place winner. If I give it my best, what would have happened?
NEVER, I mean NEVER, get side track by your competitor. Your competitor can’t be you. You be your best authentic self that you can be. You can only work your gifts. I was told by the judges that I was excellent, I speak with such excitement and passion, and I command the audience attention. What would have happened if I expected to win?
ALWAYS EXPECT TO WIN!!!!!
