2. The
mindset
of
a
winner
1 It
is
what
it
is…
Whatever
you
fight
will
grow
bigger.
Acceptance
is
a
first
essenCal
step
if
you
experience
a
setback.
Observe
your
thoughts
but
dont
take
them
seriously.
2 There
is
more….
In
the
first
moment
of
setback
you
experience
a
lot
of
thoughts,
emoCons,
frustraCon,…
These
make
it
easy
for
you
to
withdraw
in
your
role
of
vicCm.
Observe
your
thoughts
en
ask
yourself
how
much
they
are
really
true.
You
can
chose
to
simply
observe
your
thoughts
without
taking
acCon.
3 Where
is
the
flag…
Do
you
have
a
clear
picture
of
your
path,
of
your
goals?
Do
you
also
know
why
these
are
your
goals?
Remember
that
it
is
the
“why”
that
makes
all
the
“hows”
possible!
4 Up
to
the
next
hole!
Approach
the
next
hole
with
full
confidence,
but
know
that
the
new
holes
will
also
have
their
bunkers
and
challenges.
PerfecCon
does
not
exist,
not
in
golf….not
in
leadership.
You
will
experience
more
bad
strokes….
but
keep
walking
straight!
5 Play
your
own
game
There
is
no
template
for
success.
Follow
your
own
path
and
pay
aUenCon
to
your
intuiCon
and
your
body.
They
will
tell
you
when
you’re
not
walking
on
your
path.
Know
their
signals
and
do
something
with
it.
6 Ask
for
help
Have
the
courage
to
ask
for
help.
There
are
people
who
played
the
course
before
you
and
they
know
where
the
bunkers
and
water
hazards
are.
Asking
for
help
is
strong,
not
weak!
7 Be
a
good
host
Pay
aUenCon
to
the
people
that
play
together
with
you.
Life
is
more
than
the
score
on
your
scorecard!
