A Champion

Life is all about choices.  Within each one of us resides two persons – the victim and the champion.   Which one would you choose to be?  Being a single mom doesn’t automatically make you a victim; you can choose to be a champion (if you are not yet a champion).  I have met a lot of single moms and they are all champions.  Check out the traits of these champion single moms.

 

A champion is resilient.  No matter what negative things life throws at a champion, she keeps bouncing back.  She may lie down for awhile after the blow, but she sure will stand up and continue the fight.  A champion uses the experience to harness her power and begin to create the life she desires amidst the hardships. She is like a beach ball that when pressed down in the water, the harder is the force exerted that makes the beach ball rise above the water.  

 

A champion is an action woman.  She thinks, plans, and makes a move.  She always has a purpose and a sense of urgency.  She doesn’t sit on her dreams or issues.  She acts on them and makes sure she implements something everyday that will take her closer to her goal.

 

A champion is persistent.  Life presents a lot of issues, rejections, and delays.  Despite all these hindrances, a champion persists.  She keeps knocking on the door, taking alternative courses of action till she reaches her goal.  Her battle cry is “Never say no”.  She regards the hindrances as opportunities that will take her one step closer to her goal.  She always thinks, “What if my goal is just one more step away.  She dreads the thought of what will happen if she did not give up.  Thus, she keeps trying and keeps on pursuing.

 

A champion is a focused positive thinker.  She agrees with Napoleon Hill’s expression, “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”.  You just need to focus on what you want your body to do and it will follow.  A champion focuses on the positive things, on the solution.  She does not dwell on the problems because if you focus on the problem it will be magnified.  But if you focus on the solution, you will solve your problem.  Your mind will keep on thinking of the solution and magnify it till it solves the problem. If you focus on how you want to live your life, your mind will block out things that distracts you from our goal.

 

An ideal trait of a champion is that she is disciplined.  She designs a regimen for her success and she does it religiously.  If her formula is to start her day with a prayer followed by exercise then an uninterrupted three hour work on her computer for her internet marketing business, she does it without fail.  We become what we repeatedly do.  If you want to maintain a healthy mind and body, you discipline yourself to eat the right food and the right quantity coupled with exercise.  Without discipline, you will not achieve what you want in life.  Without discipline, you can never be a champion.
