Playing to Win vs Playing Not to Lose


I was reading this awesome book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T Harv Eker, and found the following ideas very meaningful:
If you were to play any sport or any game strictly on defense, what are the chances of your winning the game? Very slim or none.
Most people's primary concern is survival and security instead of creating wealth and abundance.
The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and abundance. The big goal of poor people is to "have enough to pay the bills and on time". While the middle-class people just want to be comfortable. 
If your goal is to be comfortable, chances are you'll never get rich. But if your goal is to be rich, chances are you'll end up mighty comfortable.
Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.
The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want.
Rich people are totally clear that they want wealth. As long as it's legal, moral and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to have wealth. Rich people do not send mixed messages to the universe.
Poor people have plenty of good reasons as to why getting and actually being rich might be a problem. They are not 100% certain they want to be rich. Their message to the universe is confusing.
If you are not fully, totally and truly committed to creating wealth, chances are you won't.

Are you the sort of people playing to win? Or are you the sort of people playing not to lose?

I'm looking for winners!
