A winning attitude

WHat are the major components in having a winning attitude in life? I am asked this often, and I go back to teh same set of verses and the same person every time.
Philippians 3:8-14 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Pressing on Toward the Goal Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me.
There are 5 major components in there.
Dissatisfaction,Devotion, Direction, Determination, Discipline
What better example of each of these things than Paul. A man who was never satisfied, he even said that that I have already obtained all this, or already been made perfect. He was the leader of the church, one of the most humble, and disciplined leaders of all time in teh church, but yet he constantly pointed out his own flaws.
Devotion in that he pressed on after being beaten, locked up in jail and even seeing other believers killed.
Direction in that he pressed on toward the goal that God had called him to. He wasn't just marching to the beat of his own drum, but he was following God's leading. Determination in that none of the things listed above slowed him down at all and finally discipline in that he pressed hard toward the goal. He was never lazy or luke warm in any aspect of his relationship with God.
The man who gave us half of the new testament, who God personally blinded to get his attention constantly tells us to never be happy or content with life. That is a winning attitude in life.
Success is a journey, not a destination. God is leading us through teh path in which he would have us to take, day by day we are directed by him, never will we reach our destination until we are in His presence daily in Heaven. So seek Him in all that you do no matter how great you think your relationship with Him is, it needs work take Paul's advice. If he wasn't content, then I better not be.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
