My mom has always wanted me to succeed in life. Whether it's getting a good grade in a hard class or doing well in a game, she always tells me "Visualize a good result. If you don't believe it will happen, it won't." I have to picture the best outcome in my mind. If I think that something won't turn out well or I won't get a good grade on something, then I won't. It pushes you to do better and remember what you need to remember so that you can meet your goals.
This was brought up for the first time with sailing. I wanted to do well, but I didn't think that it would be possible. She told me that if I kept that attitude, I wouldn't do well. I would have to believe that it would happen before I could. It's not just visualizing, but also hard work. I worked hard to do well, and I did. I got tenth out of eighty four competitors for the whole season. I know that some of the people I beat, I only beat because they only sailed a few regattas, but I still beat them. Its because of my mom. This technique will help me for the rest of my life.
