Welcome Steemit friends. I have decided to write positive, motivational, and inspiration thoughts. I have received awards throughout my life for being inspirational. It is my goal to inspire you with a series of writings so that you are truly motivated to succeed and win.

One of the easiest ways to meet any obstacle is to psyche yourself up for it. Most people do not have any idea what this is.

I have been a collegiate football player. I played in the PAC-10 which is now the PAC-12. I was also an American soldier.

"Psyching Up!" is the act of getting ready for competition mentally. American football is a very competitive sport. It is very violent and a player's career can end in a microsecond. The impacts are brutal and can reach pressures of 66,000 pounds per square inch when both players hit at full speed.

Like driving on the freeway, or working at a job, or doing chores around the house, playing American football game can turn you into a greasy spot in an instant. Soldering is the same.

Today's world is full of bombs, blasts, and injuries - how do you remain mentally fit to react?

Psyche Yourself Up!

A psyche up is a repetitive meditation that involves verbal statements of what you want to do.
a. One of my favorites was to repeat the word "WIN" a thousand times while sitting on the bench in the locker room before a game.
b. While sitting, Say "Win" forcefully.
c. Clench your fists with your arms up near your chest and pull in forcefully as you say it. Pump those arms.
It is more than a chant - force must be used to reach into your subconscious mind and force the mind to do what must be done.
Your breathing will become labored if you do this correctly. Exhale with force when you say it.

How much can you overcome with this?

I am huge but many a time, as big as I am, I could run 11 miles in an hour. In my life, because football is a contact sport, just like I hit - I have been hit. Once, it broke my neck.

I kept playing the game. Competition is focusing your talents and abilities no matter what is in your path. In my case, I paralyzed my arms. Eventually, I had to stop playing the game.

But, am I in a wheelchair? Am I on disability? Am I on welfare? No, I am and always have been an entrepreneur.

I went to the oilfields in North Dakota. My strength was back. I picked up a section of grease lube pipe that fell off a truck out in the middle of nowhere Montana. Another guy helped me. That paralyzed my right arm again and hurt my back.

Am I on disability? Am I on welfare? Do I have goals and meet them? Can I still type with both hands?

Philosophy

A philosopher named @kyriacos said I could never prove anything that I said. That I am a fraud. That my philosophy or belief in God is nothing and it is based on a myth.

I wonder if he ever sits around and says to himself a thousand times, "WIN"

Steemit has been relatively good to me. Lately it has been very good as we all know. I now have thousands of dollars worth of Steem. I gave someone who constantly upvoted me 300 steempower. Or was it Steem?

In August of 2016 when I started with Steemit, I was in debt. Had just faced and overcome a terrible monstrous thing, the Hydra, the Pillars of the Sky, the DADADS and I won.

WIN

On Saturday, I sent another attempt by that thing off to hell from whence it came. I have pictures of the new blast area. I should be in a wheelchair. I should be disabled. I most certainly should not be alive, well, and with the cognitive abilities to identify and figure out how to get rid of a national security threat.

Whatever you face in life. Whatever nay saying, negative people, dishonest crooks, murderers, rapists, muggers, criminals you have to face - YOU CAN WIN!

I am huge. That is true. But one of the people that I played football with was a real inspiration. He was only five foot two or three I cannot remember which. He was a flanker and when I saw him out there on the collegiate field play I determined something - IT IS WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART!

WIN IN YOUR HEART

What is in your heart, deep within your soul will enable you to face anything that is against you. It will enable you to face hordes of people calling you liars. It will enable to find a way to overcome all the obstacles that you face, even if someone is trying to take your life. I have been there many times.

In the deepest part of your being you must figure out that you are a valuable person. You must realize that for whatever purpose, fate, destiny you are here on this Earth that it is important or you would not be here.

Once we are born, it is certain no matter what anyone does that we will die. We are mortals and anything else anyone tells you is bullshit. When you read a story that says you will most likely live to one hundred and fifty years soon, that is a lie.

You cannot count on your next day of being alive. Live for the moment.

FOCUS ON THE MOMENT

The whole purpose of this motivation is to cause you to set aside time to focus every day. During this moment that you give yourself, you must make the most of it. You must put in your mind that you will WIN!

If the Nazis come to take you away to a concentration camp you will evade, escape, and lead them on a merry chase to Switzerland. They are hunting you with hundreds of troops so they cannot haul someone else off to their death.

A mass murderer walks up to you and tries to kill you - you will not be taken!

A robber walks into a store - You will not be robbed!

A kid is drowning - You will save the kid!

There is a huge accident on the freeway - you will do something to stop the next two hundred cars and trucks from plowing into the massive pile up.

KNOW IT ALLS

As a category I think your worst enemies are know it alls. They know everything except how to win. They know everything except how to tell you to get what it is you want and need. They know you should be in a wheelchair, you should be on welfare, you should be on disability, or that you should be doing something that they know is best for you that they will not do.

Know that in this moment that you do not know it all. You do not know what will happen in the future. That whatever it is that comes your way you can face it and overcome. You can win no matter what the know it all says about how low your test scores are. How you cannot succeed because you failed this class or that class.

WIN! WIN! WIN! WIN! WIN! WIN!

Each time you give yourself the moment to force your mind to succeed at what it is you are supposed to do, you know that whatever you face, you will win. What do I currently face?

Obstacles

At the moment, a drought has started. There are a few forest fires in the area. We are running out of water. We live off rainwater because many people have said we do not have the right to live on our own property where we live. Our well has been cut off by the government.

Can this obstacle be overcome? Can I pray my way out of the drought? Can I get it to rain enough to stay alive? are there other options I can consider using until it does rain?

Of course, I am using this for an example, but it is real. This drought has formed. It is dry. It is dusty. Plants are beginning to die. Will I live or die? I will win.

There are many obstacles that we face. Drought is one but there are so many other disasters. Mechanical difficulties, relationship difficulties, health difficulties and you have at your disposal one of the most powerful things on this planet - your subconscious mind. I will win. I will succeed.

Subconscious Mind

This keeps you alive when you are not conscious or asleep. You do not have to tell yourself to breathe or process food. It fights against a majority of all diseases that you do not know about. In addition, it is more powerful than any computer that was ever built or will be built. It can recognize things your conscious mind cannot.

Is there something invisible here that I cannot see that is trying to kill me, thwart me, or hurt me? Why is it that people's hair will stands on end when they "have the feeling" a threat is near. Your subconscious mind knows something is there. What exactly the threat is, is the question. I will succeed against it.

You must make your own mind your friend, your lover, let it know that you are on its side. I know this sounds ridiculous but it is true. There have been many psychological theories that we are separate beings within ourselves. You need to unify yourself in order to succeed at what you want to do. you will find or unify yourself to use all your abilities to win.

Start off by telling yourself to win, win, win, win, you will.

You started off life just like every other person. You knew nearly nothing. If you were lucky, you had a mother that loved you and raised you. She taught you a lot, all that she could so you could win.

Remember, winning is not about beating everyone else around you to a bloody pulp. Winning is about you reaching your goals, succeeding in what you want to do, getting what you want, and inspiring others to do the same. You will succeed. You will win.

You can win without harming a soul. You can succeed without corrupting anyone. You can be victorious against all that you face. You can an will overcome all the obstacles that are in your way.

Winners use every tool that is available to them and one of those tools is God. One thing that I am certain about is that God is a lot more intelligent than I will ever be. There have been many times in my life when I wanted to falter, when I collapsed from exhaustion, when I forget that we are here to win. So, I have to tell myself and I hope you do too. We must tell ourselves -
