Winners and Losers: It’s All in Your Mind

I am a fan of Andrew Huberman of the Huberman Labs podcast, where he talks about health and wellness via the lens of biohacking. It felt like he came from nowhere to being everywhere. 

He is a life long learner and someone living life to his own definition. A winner for sure. I listened to an interview and he said something that really stuck with me. 

"Someone I really respect said this, 'There are basically two kinds of people in life. Winners and losers.' And the definition is this—losers take things that happen to them... and the wallow and they use it for self or outward destruction." 

"Winners take whatever they feel, it sucks, and they transmute it into things that are good for themselves and for the world."

Most people according to this then are losers. I was one of these people for a very long time in my life. But I worked on myself. I am still working on myself. I had to change my mindset of victimhood. I’m a conqueror. Everything is my fault and I’ll act accordingly. I don’t control the outside world but I can control how I react to it. 

Mindset and action is the only thing that determines a winner from a loser. Don’t be a loser.
