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.
