The day has wound down on this Thursday night as I prepare to end my week. I found myself catching up on a few things in the sports world and as usual I became inspired by something that I read. We are moving further into fall and America's Favorite Past Time is on every channel these days as we move closer to the World Series.
I began to think that once the World Series is over we will have crowned a new world champion. In reaching the top I am sure it was not the result of just the efforts of one person, but a collective effort of a team. As we look at most sports that crown a champion, there are a few that crown an individual champion such as tennis, golf, and boxing. In doing so, we often lose sight ofpeople that helped that person become champion. What role did the trainers, caddies, and corner men play in helping that individual reach the top.
We are always referencing champions in the sporting arena, but when do we discuss the champions of life. Based on watching a season or the culminating championship game, as a society we think we know what makes a champion in the sporting arena.
We often utter the phrase the heart of a champion, but what does that mean?
So what makes a champion in life?
Have your experiences in life made you a champion?
Do you know anyone that has overcome a situation that you now see them as a champion?
Look in the mirror and salute yourself as you are a champion in the life you live. Remember that it took morethan you to become the champion that you are.
“A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.”
-Jack Dempsey
"If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory.”
-Bruce Jenner
“A champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.”
-Pat Riley
“Most look up and admire the stars. A champion climbs a mountain and grabs one.”
