As kind of a hobby I like to watch people. Just kind of sit back and quietly watch how they react and respond to others and their environment. Through the course of this activity I’ve noticed a few things that the real winners in life seem to have in common. I’d like to point out a few of these characteristics for the purpose of reinforcing them.
So without further delay or introductory verbiage…
Winners have a pleasing attitude and personality. - Success seems to come more easily to those who have a pleasing personality. This is not to say that you should bend to everyone’s wishes. Rather, develop an attitude that is respectful of other’s opinions but true to your own beliefs. Be flexible - don’t be so rigid that you can’t accept another’s opinion. Be willing, even eager, to learn from others. Changing your opinion in light of more facts is a sign of strength of character, not weakness. Winners are extremely teachable - but at the same time very much their own person.
Winners control their emotions and guard against emotional responses. - You are susceptible to errors in judgment when you let your emotions get in the way. Of course, everything we do is done based somewhat on our emotions, but strong emotions have little place in decision making. Winners seem to understand this. Hold your emotions in check. Try to delay decisions if you are in an emotional state. Learn to ignore your emotions and use reasoning to arrive at your decisions, like winners.
Winners bubble over with enthusiasm. - Enthusiasm works like a magnet - it draws people. It’s a pleasing personality trait that people like to be a part of. It seems to be contagious - the people around you become enthusiastic, too, and become more cooperative. Enthusiasm! Get some on you.
Winners focus on their strengths. - Focusing on your limitations lets those limitations make your decisions for you. Focusing on your strengths lets YOU make the decision. See the difference? Very few people concentrate on fully developing any of their strengths. This is where winners seem to have that winners edge. Along with this focus on their strengths winners also have a frightening (to losers) focus on their goals. Winners always know exactly where they’re going.
Winners work at developing themselves to their fullest potential by focusing on improving, not on being perfect. - Winners turn their focus toward improvements they can make to become more efficient. You’ll note that most effective, successful people seem to accomplish a great deal. It is true that this is partly due to enthusiasm for what they’re doing, but there’s more to it. The more to it is their single minded determination to squeeze every ounce from themselves.
Now I’m sure I haven’t even come close to covering all of the characteristics of you real winners out there. As always, my intention here is to be a catalyst. I hope you’ll take a step back and see how many of these characteristics you wear on a consistent basis. This puts yourself in position to either know that you are, or know what you could be working on to… BE A WINNER!
Thanks for hanging out.
Live some. Love some. Learn some. Everyday.

We had a little excitement this morning at home. My wife came out of the bathroom and said, quite calmly, “Ed, there’s a big black spider in the bathtub.” Since I was watching my daughter, Ella, at the time, I carried her in there to investigate. I was a bit surprised that my wife did not call it a Brown Recluse. That’s our running joke. She grew up in Brown Recluse territory, and so whenever she sees a brownish spider she says “Ed, I just saw a Brown Recluse. Go get it.” I gently remind her that the Brown Recluse does not live in Northern California as I gather up the culprit and take it outside.
When Ella and I looked in the tub, I could understand why Melissa had not called it a Brown Recluse. This spider was a deep shiny black. I’m usually pretty casual about spiders, knowing that the only dangerous spider in our area is the black widow, a spider I had never before seen. But the color of this one caused me to act with a bit more caution. And it was good that I did. When I gathered up the critter in a Tupperware bowl, I could see, through the translucent plastic, a distinctive red hourglass on the belly. Here was my first Black Widow.
Needless to say, my wife did not share in my scientific enthusiasm at this discovery. She promptly took Ella from my arms and commanded me to take the spider far away from the house. I was gratified and a bit surprised that she did not encourage me to immediately squash it.
Now I want to pause here and put in a bit of a plug for spiders. They get a bad rap. They take the blame for a lot of stuff they don’t do: flea bites, tick bites, bed bug bites, even mosquito bites. You name it, spiders take the blame for it. Most spiders don’t bite humans, others only bite when confronted, and of those that do bite, there are only a handful that are truly dangerous to humans. Even the bite of the supposedly deadly Black Widow is fatal in less than 1% of all instances.
And then there are the legends that have grown up around the infamous Brown Recluse. Over 60% of the medically diagnosed Brown Recluse bites occur in regions in which the spider does not live! How a spider that lives only in the South Central portion of the USA can be responsible for so many unexplained ailments here in California and elsewhere is beyond me.
Here’s a brief excerpt from a spider info site to give you some perspective:
A recent summary of reported spider bites in the United States between 1989 and 1993 included fewer than 5,000 incidents per year. These numbers seem small when compared to the over 800,000 dog bites that required stitches each year. During the study period, dog bites were responsible for 20 deaths per year, and auto-deer collisions were associated with 130 annual deaths. You might be surprised to learn that there were no spider-bite related fatalities during that four-year period.
At this point, you may be wondering what this has to do with life coaching. Fear not, I do have a point I’m getting to. And as the good Dr. Seuss would say, “This may not seem important I know. But it is, and that’s why I’m bothering telling you so.”
How do you feel about spiders? Do you cringe when you see one walking on your wall? Do you quiver at the thought of one crawling up your leg? Where do those feelings come from? When you were a youngster, did someone in your family go into paroxysms of fear whenever a spider was spotted? Did you inherit that fear? And does that fear continue to control your relationship with these critters?
Ok, lets face it, a fear of spiders is not going to prevent you from living a successful, abundant, joyous life. But here’s the catch: What fears do you harbor that DO prevent you from living that life? What other fears have you inherited from your family and friends and the culture around you? And how do those fears keep from becoming the person you have the potential to be?
Because our fears are almost always founded in the past, they appear much larger than they really are. When we experience a fear in the present, we’re really reacting to the projection of a deep-rooted belief that was planted inside us long ago. Just as the shadow of a spider walking in front of a light appears huge and frightening, so too do our fears become magnified many times when we look at the projection. The reality of the spider, when viewed from a place of present-time awareness, is much less scary. So too do your fears become manageable when you shift your perception from the shadow to the source.
Fears thrive on the lies and exaggerations that are possible only in the dark, hidden places. As soon as you bring those fears out into the light you can begin to see them for what they really are. The trick, of course, is knowing how to pull those fears out into the light.
So here’s your assignment:
When you see a spider (or a snake or a mouse or you look down from a balcony or get onto a plane or fill in the blank) and you notice the dread that lives in the pit of your stomach, know that you have a great opportunity to practice shifting your perception. So the next time you find yourself face to face with a spider, rather than running away or calling for reinforcements, try to stop and breathe for a moment and become an explorer of your inner world. If you need to catch the spider and place it in a hermetically sealed container in order to breathe, that’s ok! And then see if you can observe that spider with the objectivity of a scientist.
This practice will serve you well the next time you find yourself confronted by a fear that really does hold you back from the life you want to live. When you feel yourself quaking as you prepare to give a presentation, when you watch your arms quivering as you walk into a job interview, when your mouth becomes drier than the Sahara desert as you share your portfolio with a gallery owner, whenever you notice yourself entering a place of fear, become a scientist, objectively exploring the phenomenon. Become a neutral observer of your own life. When you discover the source of your fear, you may be surprised to find that the reality is much less scary than the perception.
Oh, and when you’re done exploring those other fears, remember to say thank you to your new spider friends.

Although the nervousness of a first date can somewhat hamper the flow of your true and wonderful personality, there are a few signs that you will notice when things are really going great. The conversation will flow. There will be a natural rhythm to the dialogue, each person contributing and taking turns in the spotlight. You will enjoy listening to them tell you their tales, and you will know that they are paying attention to what you have to say.
The sparks will be there. The flirtation will be high, natural and lighthearted. There will be more touching at the end of the date than there was in the beginning. Let there be laughter. Easy, natural humor, laughter, giggles, smiles and comic relief all add to the pleasure and ease of the date.
Ask yourself, ‘what is it that would make you more comfortable”? What could they do for you that would make it go smoother for you? When you answer those questions, you can turn tables and do exactly that for them
Give them a warm smile.
Make eye contact. Looking at someone directly in the eye gives the sense that you’re open, honest, and paying attention.
Make them feel welcome by reaching out to them, pulling them closer into your personal space.
Compliment them on their appearance and accomplishments.
Draw them into a conversation and then be interested in their responses.
Be kind, polite, attentive to their needs, gracious, and chivalrous (for men)
Be relaxed with them and let them follow suit.
Where to go?
A first date should be short and sweet. Since you are at the initial stages of discovering more about each other, a long date may be more than you can handle. It may become uncomfortable if you find that really do not have much in common, or that you have run out of things to talk about. If the date goes well, then a shorter date will leave you both wanting for more. You will part with a pleasant feeling, looking forward for more contact.
Decide
A full dinner may be too long and complicated. It may involve more of an expense than desired or expected.
A movie or a concert does not allow to you speak with each other.
All all-day skiing trip could be tortuous if the chemistry does not happen, and could give rise too all sorts of complications that could bring out the worst in one or both parties.
A company party or family event has obvious pitfalls and traps
Instead first dates can take place at a coffee shop, over lunch, or at a comfortable bar over a drink. If you have determined that you both have dogs, you could have a first date walking them in the park and getting an ice cream from the vendor. A sporting event may be acceptable if both parties really have an interest in the event.

Zeus mysteriously materialized in my life a few years ago. He’s
a very complex, wise-cracking, irreverent dog with some serious
attitude. However, he is arguably the most highly evolved being
I have ever encountered. His great delight is in turning my
world (and yours) inside out and upside down, with the soul
purpose of revealing forgotten knowledge. For example:
Very few restaurants in Los Angeles cater to both man and
dog–even a dog that has incarnated from another dimension to
help Earth’s inhabitants cope with the major challenges ahead.
However, a handful of excellent eateries in West Hollywood are
exceptions to the rule. They welcome us with open arms, provided
we sit at one of their outdoor tables. Trs Européen. One
particular day I was deep into my second cappuccino and the
morning paper’s crossword puzzle when I began to notice Zeus’s
unintelligible muttering.
“What in God’s name are you on about?” I asked.
“Keeping score,” was his enigmatic answer.
I put the pen down. After five years of living with this
extraordinary canine, I knew when my next lesson was about to be
served. “Keeping score of what?” I asked obediently.
“It’s amazing,” Zeus mused. “I’ve been tracking it since I first
came to California and it hardly ever changes–unless of course
a monumental event is at hand, like the Oscars, the Super Bowl,
or the final episode of a TV show.”
“Would you please stop talking in circles and explain what this
is all about?”
“Why do people bother talking to each other?” Zeus asked, which
explained absolutely nothing.
“To pass on information about things,” I responded.
“You wish!” he retorted. “That happens little more than 30
percent of the time. Most of what people say is intended to make
themselves appear more interesting, intelligent, or
important–the three I’s of the lower ego.”
“What’s your point?” I asked. “People talk about whatever’s
running through their minds at the time. So what?”
“So everything!” Zeus said. “Did you know that the size of a
goldfish is determined by the dimensions of the bowl it’s kept
in?”
“I think you’ve been sniffing too many hydrants. Have you
flipped out?”
“It’s a natural high, kiddo. Stop being so dense and hop along
for the ride. You might learn a thing or two. In a small bowl, a
goldfish will become only a few inches long. Move it to a large
aquarium and it will double or triple its size. Put the same
goldfish in a large pond and it can grow up to a foot long!
That’s true of humans as well. Except your goldfish bowls are a
matter of thoughts and words. Allow me to quote Eleanor
Roosevelt, who was more evolved than most of you guys realize:
‘Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small
minds discuss people.’”
“And you’ve been eavesdropping on conversations?”
“What else is there to do when my leash is tied to a table leg?
Frankly, 90 percent of what I hear is reruns of grade-D sitcoms.
Every so often there’s a little gem–like a gold nugget in a
heap of sand. The contents rarely interest me; I just keep a
running total of the categories.”
“I suppose that’s where the 30 percent comes from?” I asked.
“Yep. In case you’re into statistics, over two-thirds of the
conversations are pure gossip–the pronoun parade of I, you, he,
she, we, they said or did. The next category, relating, accounts
for about 25 percent. Most revolve around business, sports and
entertainment, current events, or things people have or want to
get. The last slot in my study is reserved for the sharing of
ideas, exploration. The differences are like moving from a tiny
bowl to an aquarium to an ocean.
“Here’s what you guys never consider. When two people converse,
they create an energetic field of pure potential between
them–like a perfectly tuned Steinway ready to respond to the
performer’s preference: Chopsticks, Take Me Out to the Ball
Game, or a Mozart concerto. Why waste any opportunity to explore
the full possibilities of such a magnificent instrument? Why
live your life confined to one octave, striking the same five
black keys again and again and again?”
Stunned by Zeus’s last questions, I let my attention wander to
the diners at the other tables. He was absolutely right. Most
were engrossed in animated conversation dedicated to the pronoun
parade. “But what’s wrong about talking about people? Surely it
doesn’t have to be gossip?”
“In theory, no,” Zeus quipped. “But the survey suggests
otherwise. The subject isn’t all that important; what really
counts is the purpose for conversing. If it’s just social
chit-chat, you’re missing a wonderful opportunity. Like using
two fingers to play Chopsticks instead of committing both hands
to perform something more meaningful. While gossip seems
harmless, it ain’t. Gossip is as shallow as it gets-and it
levies a pretty price.”
“Why do you say that?”
“A one-inch fish thinks it’s a giant if all it’s ever known is a
six-inch bowl.”
“You mean a big fish in a little pond?”
“You meet a lot of people like that–especially in this city,”
Zeus said, “full of self-importance and the need for
acknowledgment. It’s always amusing to listen to people who seem
so positive about what they think they know. They resist moving
to a larger bowl because it might threaten the validity of their
beliefs.
“‘To make it through this illusion, kiddo, you’re gonna have to
risk letting go every once in a while. And every conversation
offers the perfect opportunity–even the ones about people and
events. Instead of listening to the words, be intensely curious
about what lies beneath them.
“Try this out the next time you’re engaged in conversation:
Check out the five journalistic W’s: who, what, when, where, and
why. Gossip quickly fills in the first four, but ‘why’ brings
any discussion to a deeper level. Curiosity always asks why. Why
is she saying that? Why is he reacting that way? Look for the
underlying intent of everyone involved in the
conversation–especially your own. Once you’ve done that, crank
it up a notch. Move past the significance of what’s being said
and notice the patterns of energy flowing between the
participants. If you can skirt your way around judgment, you’ll
soon see the archetypes–the universal constructs–humans employ
to work through their self-imposed fears.
“Words are like energetic viruses scavenging your mind for
receptor sites. They readily bond with preconceived ideas and
beliefs, and when they do, you start evaluating instead of
listening. When you find yourself formulating a response well
before the other person has finished speaking, know you’ve been
hooked.
“It doesn’t take long to master the art of listening to
gold-fish-bowl conversations from the perspective of aquariums
and oceans. And in the process, your little fish are given an
extraordinary opportunity to grow.”
