The first step in any champion’s journey is to look deep inside themselves and discover the delight of their heart.
Many people start on a journey failing to take the time to determine what matters most in their life. They often know neither the point from which they are starting or even the final point they wish to reach. Their life along that pathway is made up of a set of chance happenings. Some of those chance happenings work to their benefit but most do not! Because of this, they often fail to reach champion status because they failed to be able to develop a road map with which to get there.
It is important as you work through this material to remember the definition we use for Champion –
“A Champion is someone who produces positive, predicable and sustainable outcomes.”
Those three words are important. The results achieved by a champion must be positive. A champion must have a strong passion for what they are working to accomplish. To have that passion, what they are working to accomplish must be connected directly to the delight of their heart.
The results a champion obtains is predictable. All of those around them know the outcome of any given situation.
A champion’s outcomes are sustainable. Champions do not dip in and out of life. They do not wait hoping an opportunity will come their way. They don’t believe they will accomplish great success without any effort.
Champions set themselves on a course that produces right outcomes continually. They have the desire, framework, and power to achieve and maintain that course.
