You were born a champion. You are destined to championship, but nevertheless it is not something that will happen in your life automatically.

You decide your destiny. You decide whether you take the high road in life (to reach your highest potential) or the low easy road and end up bitter and frustrated.

The title of this article is “Champions Train to Win”, and that is exactly what they do. They never train to come second right?

Today we are looking at affirmation #124 of John Di Lemme’s 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about. (See note in “Resources” below for more information).

Affirmation #124 is all about training:

There is only one way for you to make sure you become the best you can be in your field of expertise and passion. What is this way?

Train and work to develop yourself, your mind, your body (to stay fit and able to enjoy life), and your knowledge and skills in your field of expertise.

• This is the only way you can stay ahead of the competition.
• This is the only way you can stay fit mentally, emotionally and physically in this negatively contaminated world. >li>

When you win a championship it means that you have reached a potential that is higher than your competitors ability. That will not happen automatically right?

No it will take hours of persistent, dedicated, disciplined, daily training.

Champions are laser focused on their goals.

How can you stay laser focused on your dreams and goals?

• First of all, you need to be totally immersed in a proven personal development plan every day.
• Secondly you need to be totally immersed in your goals and dreams and the strategic actions you are taking towards fulfilling them.

Today’s Challenge:

• Start reading at least 1-2 non fiction books a month.
• Start listening to strong, highly motivational teachings on audio or video every day.
• Make a decision to start speaking stronger, more positive words to yourself every day.

• If you believe that success is not for you, it is very unlikely you will succeed.On the other hand, if you believe that you CAN succeed, then you will.
• What you believe to be true is the foundation of your mindset. Mindset is what motivates you and me and me to do what we do in life.

It takes time and effort to train your mind to stay focused on the positive things in life. But it is well worth making the effort to do everything you can to learn how to focus on the things that will bring you success.

What is your definition of success?

You define your own success. You will have your own goals, passions and vision of things you want to achieve in life. Success does not necessarily mean you have to be a millionaire.

There are really two very important things that will define success for you.

1. Your main goal in life will be to achieve the deepest desire you find your heart wanting to achieve in life. This will be your main purpose for living (or your WHY as John Di Lemme so aptly teaches).
2. Once you are on the path to fulfilling your main goal, you will enjoy everything you do even when things get tough and you have to work hard.This is because you are working with a purpose. When have a real purpose for what you are doing you hardly notice any difficulties that come your way.

   Once you are doing the things you enjoy you have already reached a great measure of success in your life. You will find yourself enjoying everything you do.

Here is a suggested checklist to prepare for success!
Write down your answers to these questions in your notebook or journal:

• Have you defined your purpose in life?
• What does success mean to YOU?
• Do you have your goals written down?
• Can you visualize yourself enjoying success?
• Do you have a plan of action for each day?
• Does your plan of action include time for self development?
• Does your plan of action include activities to help train your brain for success?
• Are you surrounding yourself with people who are successful?
