Are You a Champion?

Are you a champion?  For me, most single moms are champions. There are only two kinds of people – you are either a victim or you are a champion. Who would you rather be?  If you are not sure if you are a champion or a victim, check out these traits. 

Champions are resilient.  So now you know why I say that most single moms are champions.  Most single moms I know were able to bounce back to life after a tumultuous past.  They were able to create a better life in spite of the hardships.  My apologies for saying this again, I compare the single moms I know to a beach ball – the beach ball gets pushed down in the water but manages to rise above no matter how much pressure is exerted to push it down.  Later on, instead of pushing the beach ball down, people would play with it pushing it up.  Same with problems in life; resist the pressure and soon you will get used to it that the problems will no longer be issues for you.

There is always a sense of urgency in everything that champions do.  They do things intentionally.  There is always a purpose in whatever they do – they think, they plan and then they act.  Procrastination is not part of their dictionary.  Every delay in action can mean failure.  Champions don’t struggle with an issue for long; they move forward.  Champions don’t sit on a vision; they act on it.

 

Champions are persistent.  Like common people, champions encounter failures.  But unlike common people, champions are quick to get up and fight again.  They keep trying different ways to reach their goals; they keep knocking different doors till they finally hit the correct one that will lead to their success. Champions never give up.  They keep digging till they strike gold. Champions cannot live with the thought of “what if”.  What if they are just a day away from their biggest breakthrough and they gave up?

 

Champions are focused on their goals.  Whatever you focus your mind to, your body will follow.  If you keep thinking of your problems, the problems will be magnified.  But if you focus on the solution, you will be able to solve your problems. When we focus on solutions, we will see clearly and will gain insight and vision.  When we focus on what we want, we block out everything that seeks to distract us.

Another common character trait of champions is discipline.  We become what we repeatedly do.  If we discipline ourselves to exercise daily, we gain a healthy body.  If we discipline ourselves to work on certain number of hours a day to reach our financial goals, we will achieve our objective. Discipline separates the common man from the legend.  Discipline will make you get up out of bed to work on your online job, meet and encourage more people to become successful and become champions.
