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!!!!
