7 Traits to Win in Life Like Tom Brady’s Patriots Won Super Bowl LI

But in the end, Tom Brady and his team won 34 to 28, securing Brady his 5th Super Bowl ring and a new record of 466 pass yds (most in super bowl history). The New England Patriot’s historic comeback from a 25-points deficit to win super bowl LI in overtime was the first overtime and largest comeback in super bowl history as the Patriots trailed by 25 in the 3rd Quarter!

I won’t go into any details as to why the Falcons didn’t win this game and instead focus on the seven key traits that led to the Patriots’ success. Let’s just say that, even when the game of life is against you (like the Falcons were in 3 quarters), it’s not over until it’s over. Never throw in the towel — no matter how dark it may seem. Here’s why:

1. COMMITMENT. You cannot win big if you don’t commit. Who can question the commitment level of the Patriots’ team members? They were 100% committed to playing all out and the results were amazing.

2. LEADERSHIP. Brady made a bunch of mistakes too but still took responsibility for the team’s victory and they won! You must lead your own life, business, or ministry and take full responsibility for shortcomings and dark moments or success will often elude you.

3. DECISIVENESS. When the going gets tough, don’t get choked by fear and indecision. It will weaken your team and your resiliency. Learn to make quick decisions and if you make a wrong decision, simply make another decision.

4. CONSISTENCY. I’ve already written here about why consistency is key in achieving your big goals so no need to repeat it. Just go out and implement, implement, implement until you succeed.

5. DETERMINATION. It means more than just giving up. It means to be bold, be strong, and be courageous. It means to fight to win! Fight with grit and boldness. Fight like your life depends on it. Be determined to fight for what truly matters.

6. CONFIDENCE. It is reported that Tom Brady made a commercial before the super bowl game from the standpoint of them winning. Now that’s being confident! None of the above traits will do much good if you’re not confident in your abilities, team, strategy, and if you’re in ministry, in the God you say you believe in.

7. FAITH. This is the bedrock of all great success and major breakthroughs. Though similar to confidence, it is a superior quality and the hallmark of all great achievement. Faith is the confident expectation and belief that what is ventured will be attained. Faith sees what the naked eye cannot see. Everyone saw the Atlanta Falcons as winners up to the 3rd quarter. But Brady and the Patriots saw what others didn’t see. Don’t look at your problems and count yourself out. Look through the eye of faith and see the limitless possibilities of what can and will be, if you only believe and give it your all.
