Episode #17 - The Top 10 Distinctions Between Winners and Whiners By Keith Cameron Smith

Hello, Self Developers and welcome to The Patrick Kelly Podcast for Self-Development, where I will be reviewing audible books on Self-Development that can change your life for the better this year, and years to come. It is said that if we keep on doing what we always did, we will keep on getting what we always got. In other words, to change our output, we first have to change our input.  

Today is May 09, 2021 and This is Episode 17, and Today, we will be reviewing the Audible Book, “The Top 10 Distinctions Between Winners and Whiners” By Keith Cameron Smith. This audible book will teach you the Top 10 Distinctions between Winners and Whinners and how to become a Winner in Life and not a Person who whines all the time. In descending order of importance, here are the 10 Distinctions:

Distinction #10: Winners take responsibility. Whiners play the victim: Winners believe, if it’s going to be, it is up to Me. Worry is the Enemy of Winning. Winners don’t worry, Whiners do. Winners become Victors. Whiners become Victims. Choices determine circumstances. Circumstances do not determine choices. As long as You whine about Your circumstances, You cannot become a Winner. If You blame and complain, You are destined to remain the same.

Distinction #9: Winners can have what they want. Whiners want what they cannot have: Winners don’t worry what others think of them. They care what they think of themselves. Whiners can’t have what they want because of ignorance, low self-esteem and lack of service. Winners know what they want and how they will get it. Whiners don’t know what they want and are unclear on how to get anything.  

Distinction #8: Winners find a way. Whiners find an excuse: Winners have strong beliefs that they will Win. Whinners have limiting beliefs that they can never Win. Winners say “the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory”. Whiners say “if this does not get easier, I am going to quit”. Winners have a Vision for there future. Whiners can’t see the forest through the trees. The only thing worst than being blind, is having sight, but no vision. If You really want to do something, You will find away, if not, You will find an excuse.

Distinction #7: Winners brighten a room by entering. Whiners brighten a room by leaving: Winners are positive. Whiners are negative. Whiners are so negative, that they can walk into a dark room and start to develop. Winners energize People and help them to achieve. Whiners are energy vampires and drain People of their energy. Like attracts like. Winners attract other Winners. Whiners attract other Whiners. Stop complaining and start appreciating.

Distinction #6: Winners listen twice as much as they talk. Whiners talk twice as much as they listen: The greatest communication skill that you can master, is listening. Winners listen with their hearts, while Whiners only listen with their heads. In order to become a Winner, You first have to become a Listener. By talking less, You complain less. Talk less and listen and learn more. Winners have dialogues. Whiners have monologues. Winners seek to understand first. Whiners seek to be understood first.

Distinction #5: Winners enjoy life’s journeys. Whiners put their joy in the destinations: We can’t be happy without being the best that we can be. Winners grow and experience joy. Whiners stay the same and experience pain. What we focus on is what we feel. Focus on the good in your journey, and you will feel good. Focus on the bad, and you will feel bad. The power of focus allows us to control our feelings. When You focus too much on the destination, you miss the beautiful moments of your life.

Distinction #4: Winners build friendships. Whiners destroy friendships: Humility is the secret to friendships and the Key to becoming a Winner. Winners focus on interdependence. Interdependency is what friendship is all about. Interdependency focuses on what is best for everyone. Whiners only care about what is best for them. When You focus on building friendships, you are building unity. When You are only focused on Yourself, You are building disunity. Winners build friendships. Whiners destroy them.

Distinction #3: Winners think big. Whiners think small: Winners think how can I.  Whiners think, can I. Winners understand that beliefs influence our behaviors, and our behaviors influence our results. Winners look at their results, and if their results are not what they want, they go to work on their beliefs. The only way for a Whiner to become a Winner, is to think bigger. Winners think that beliefs work, only if You do.  The only way to have your big dreams come true, is to think bigger.

Distinction #2: Winners are focus minded. Whiners are scattered brained:  Winners don’t whine, and Whiners don’t win.  A focused mind creates peace of mind.  A scattered brain creates chaos. What we focus on, will ultimately expand. Questions control Your Focus. To harness the power of Focus, learn to ask Yourself empowering questions. The Questions You ask Yourself, determines what You are focusing on, and what You focus on determines how You feel. Focus determines feelings, feelings affect our actions, and our actions create, our results.

Distinction #1: Winners create positive meanings. Whiners create negative meanings:  You get what You look for in Life. Winners find the opportunity in every difficulty. Whiners find the difficulty in every opportunity. Difficulty is what wakes up the Genius. The meanings You create in Your Life, determines whether You experience joy or pain. People will remain Whiners as long as they are always asking dis-empowering questions and create negative meanings. The meanings You create about situations, are simply the perspectives You have about them.

Closing Thoughts: On scale of 1 to 5, I would give this audible book, a 5, for providing 10 distinctions on how to become Winner, and not a Whinner.
