This Victory Minute happens to be one of my all time favorites, Enjoy!
I would like to take a minute and share a few of my thoughts in an effort to inspire you during these tough times. Life is such an adventure and will be overwhelming at times. I don’t know a single soul who has lived a productive and admirable life and said that it was easy. Life is full of surprises, and not all of them will be pleasant. Discomfort only becomes an enemy when we think of it as such. Think of discomfort as an ally. Discomfort forces you to act, make decisions, and strategize. Welcome it into your life as a friend who taps you on the shoulder and says, “Buddy, you are way too full of life to live the life of leisure.” A little stress and pressure force us to be creative and make moves.
Don’t ever let excuses steal victory out of your hands. Let an excuse be slippery and slimy like an eel: hard to grasp and even harder to keep hold of. If you find an excuse leaping into your hand and trying to make itself comfortable there, grab it by the throat and throttle the life out of it. Whatever you do, don’t coddle it like a baby. It is a vile thing, and should be dropped. Instead of being attached to your problems, why not strive to nurture an attachment to your dreams? A human being only has so much energy; indeed, a rather limited amount. Where we invest our mental and emotional resources leads directly to returns on that investment. If you put money in bad stocks, you can expect bad dividends.
We are all born with the potential to be a champion, but this potential is destroyed when we allow others to destroy our belief in ourselves. Remember to populate your mind with cheerleaders. Even when cheerleaders cheer for a team that loses, you see them on the sidelines at the next game, acting as if last week’s defeat never happened. Don’t be afraid to give yourself a good “Rah! Rah!”.
So never give up. Find the faith within to fuel your spirit. Believe in your vision. Believe in yourself and believe that you have a lot to offer. Use your life to put your stamp on the world. You are unique. Only you can offer the world that one thing it really needs. Thomas Edison tried over 10,000 times to invent the light bulb. Through perseverance and hard work, he did it. You may not be here to invent the light bulb, but trust me when I tell you that you have your own gift to offer this world. Believe it!
Your VICTORY is front of you, reach out and seize it!!
