There is a seed of a champion that has been deposited in each and everyone of us, before we were born and that champion, which is locked deep within the soul, keeps knocking from the 'inside', yearning to be activated. Few permit the champion some freedom of expression and many, quite unfortunately, keep the champion eternally locked up- could this possibly be one of the reasons for the regression our world is experiencing?
Who is a Champion?
A Champion is a person who develops and utilizes his/her talent in order to promote and sustain life- his and those who he has the opportunity to influence. He nurtures the 'seed of greatness' within him; makes it evolve through the uncertainty of life and then produces a harvest [of fruits] that blesses and/or nourishes the world- a champion makes the world a better place to live and he always have great expectations. Saliently reserved in his subconscious is the fact that the someone out there, anticipates the manifestation of his harvest and so, he is on the move because he would not allow the grave make the most of what he has got on the 'inside'.
A Champion does not ultimately have a roster of planned out events which he unleashes year in, year out but rather he observes, analyzes and map out strategies that generate positive solutions to the challenges he encounters; acclimatizing himself- but not being swayed- to the environment and bringing the best out of situations forthwith. He generates ideas right from the inside to give the outside a new and fresher look; he enlivens hope. A champion is not the 'follow-the-flow' kind of a person and his pace is not determined by the actions of [negative] people.
Maintaining the edge
Being a champion is not just about getting to the top but maintaining a top level performance over and over again- this, however, is a function of positive attitude; it is about staying strong at all times amidst the smooth and rough edges of life. The one who intends to be a champion, will always go through a test and this comes from the difficulties he/she is faced with; difficulties become openings for breaking new grounds. Since, no one becomes a dancer by restraining his/her abilities, treading the route of difficulties (i.e challenges) is delightful to the prospective champion as he/she is given a ground for expression.
It should be noted that not all champions get celebrated with worldwide acclaim but this should not make one to subject him-/her-self to mediocrity; you, being the champion you are, must see to it that you give your best shot in all you do...think of a world whereby everyone says to himself: "if it's ever going to be bad, it won't be from my end": that's the world of champions.
Final note
The quest to unleash your champion stuff would sometimes stretch you beyond your ordinary limit. However, you must always be mentally alert to stay in- even when you are physically weak; you must not allow your mind to get exasperated. For the 'tough to get going when the going get tough' is beyond physical proficiency...the champion is tough and must be sagacious.
The world, amidst the many problems it is encumbered with, earnestly awaits the revealing of the champions- YOU...the CHAMPION in you is seeking expression. Awaken that champion and make your world; our orb a better place.
