When the going gets tough - which it has - I remind myself that character is built during our time in the valleys, that what we learn and endure is what helps up reach the peaks. Once a Champion, always a Champion, my first cycling coach told me. That may be true, but to ALWAYS be a Champion, one must LIVE it, keep striving and doing their best, what got them to the top in the first place! So, no matter what or where, the mantra of a Warrior beats within me. . . .
Of all the things one can become in life, I can think of nothing better to be than to be a Champion.
A Champion is a WARRIOR.
A Champion NEVER settles; never gives up; they strive through the blood, sweat and tears to overcome ALL obstacles placed before them.
A Champion IGNORES the pain; they are the first to rise and the last to fall; they will keep on going until they collapse.
A Champion NEVER accepts defeat; 'failure' is not defeat, but a lesson on how to do better, how not to make the same mistakes.
A Champion may fall, but they ALWAYS rise again, fighting back harder than ever.
A Champion does NOT make excuses for their shortcomings, but pushes forward, turning their weaknesses into strengths.
A Champion burns with the fire of determination and passion; they dare to dream, dreaming of the stars and REFUSE to accept anything less than such heights as they have set their eyes upon.
A Champion NEVER backs down or strays from their path; they have a purpose and they will do WHATEVER it takes to achieve it.
A Champion has a PURPOSE, forging forward, open to possibilities, forever testing themselves, challenging the 'impossible'.
A Champion gives EVERYTHING they have to their cause, holding nothing back, persistently pursuing their goals, dreams and desires with a vengeance to be the absolute BEST that they can be.
Do YOU have what it takes to become a Champion?
