The Wisdom of a Champion

Thoughts to Ponder:

  • There are two types of people/athletes: those who seek awards, admiration, and other such accolades above all else, and those who truly love their sport or job and are driven to find out how well they can play or succeed in work.
  • A central concept for becoming a champion is to battle against your best. The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before. 
  • "To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life." Success is a piece of mind. Our entrenched self-limiting beliefs are often the biggest barrier to overcome.
  • Realize that the world is full of experts who have been proven wrong. If you want to find someone to doubt you, the search won't take long nor be difficult. Believe in yourself even if you are the only one who believes in you. 
  • Failure can be a great teacher. The arrow that hits the bulls-eye is the result of 100 misses. 
  • Working with others, particularly experts who can help you achieve your goals, is the antithesis of weakness. Instead, it shows strength of character and resolve to be the best you can be.  Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher. 
  • Have a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset when it comes to new circumstances. 
  • Be uncomfortable being comfortable!!!!
  • Proper Practice and Preparation Promotes Personal Peak Performance= The Seven P's

5 Dimensions of Win/Win

Key Points: It begins with character and moves toward relationships, out of which flow agreements. It is nurtured in an environment where structure and systems are based on Win/Win. And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality.  Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.  Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...

Are You A Gap Filler?

 What is Gap Filler You May Ask?  A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them.  When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps.  It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

A Dream Within a Dream

Summary:  In the second chapter of Chase the Lion,  we come to the Wright brothers and how they had a dream that was actually inspired by there dads interest in birds. They later came to be the first humans to fly.  Inception is another topic in how we are to perceive our dreams. Inception is a dream within a dream within a dream, in our non-fiction life we can look and see that as a sign that our dream necessarily doesn't come from us. God can expose our dreams to us through other individuals.  For the Wright brothers, it was a book they read when they were 29. It could be your parents, teachers, or coaches dream. It comes down to how you interact with other people, life is about relationships you never know who may plant a dream in you that is waiting to be revealed.  Our greatest legacy isn't our dream. Our greatest legacy is the next generation of dreamers that out dreams inspire--the dreams within a dream. The energy we spend on cr...
