Repeatedly heard was, "I never said that I would do my best, I always said I'd win the race."
Coaches said, "To be champions, they have to constantly think and say that they will win, that they are the best."
The champion athletes set goals, affirmed for them and work to them. It is usually said that one works "towards" her/his goals, however, the word "towards" does not indicate that one has reached the goal or even that she/he ever really anticipated doing so.
These are certainly not the people who say, "I just take one day at a time and try to get through it." (delete, delete) "I'm lucky if I can get a week planned." (delete, delete).
This day-by-day attitude is a tread-water situation that while basically keeping one afloat, achieves little. Those who swim to a boat or to the shore have sought their goal and achieved it.
So determine your goals daily, monthly as well as "By this time next year, I will have achieved..."
Think and say Goal affirmations regularly,
knowing that to do so will
allow them to become true.
