Are you on the road to becoming a champion? Are champions born or are they created? I personally feel that everyone on the planet has champion potential embedded within them. With dedication and perseverance, all of us can achieve our goals and dreams…and become a champion. However, life circumstances often impede one’s beliefs in their ability to become a champion. What is a champion? Who becomes a winner? Is it someone who crosses the finish line in competitive matches? I guess from a one-dimensional perspective, this is true. Someone who crosses the finish lines first, is a champion. However, from a broader perspective, a champion could be anyone who aspires to be the best version of themselves. As a psychotherapist, I often say to my clients that all you have to do in order to win is “stay in the game”. I truly believe this. In a world of diversity…where there is so much talent, creativity, ingenuity, uniqueness and dynamic energy, we don’t have to all do the same thing. We don’t have to look alike or achieve goals at the same pace. All we have to do is remain focused and stay In the game of life.
Staying in and being checked in is half of the battle to success. It takes great courage to remain focused on a personal goal…especially when adversity lurks behind you. Sometimes, the environment we are striving to win in is less than friendly and less than supportive. Sometimes, the environment we come from is down-right hostile. In this case, it’s time for a hostile take-over. When life throws adversity disguised as disappointment at us, it’s time to go within and emerge a champion. When a person decides in their mind that they are going to win…no matter what, the road they are on becomes a smooth one. When you make up your mind that you are going to achieve your goal, something magical happens in the brain. The brain becomes fortified with ideas, focus, clarity and perseverance. Goals become attainable…first in the mind and in the heart before they manifest tangibly. Perception changes from limited to limitless. The boundaries of the mind lift and a world of endless possibilities unfolds.
As long as we fixate on obstacles and how hard it is to attain goals, we remain travelers on a rough road, hoping and wishing for success, but feeling like it is beyond reach. It’s hard to visualize a championship ending when the road is filled with pot holes, dips, valleys and road blocks. However, the moment we decide that we are going to accomplish our goal…it doesn’t matter what the goal is, the brain begins to come up with ideas to support your endeavors. Before you know it, you can see your victory in your mind’s eye. Even if the road is filled with obstacles, your view of it is what makes it smooth. With the right attitude, your victory is a sure one. You will soon discover that the road to becoming a champion is an adventure…and you are loving every minute of it! Please check out this video that captures the tenacity and motivation of a young man who discovered his inner champion. Cheers to your successful road to championship living!
