Champion mentality I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to the light that I have Abraham Lincoln winning isn't once what I thought it was I found it to be much more complex than our traditional definitions of success a lot of people fall to their knees in tears after a big accomplishment partly due to Joy and gratitude but a lot of what you see is relief and even fear I don't say this to be cynical but I've heard it from various people and experienced it myself it's a crucial moment in
a person's Journey where you need to ask yourself what women needs to you otherwise you get stuck in a hamster wheel chasing a potentially non-existent result what I found is that winning doesn't happen on show day it happens in the early mornings painful workouts long card musicians and hungry nights happens in those moments of fear we all have when faced with a difficult goal and then more so in what you make of that fear it happens in every second of every day before you win if you can take every opportunity you have to bring yourself
closer to your goal when every one of those opportunities all while becoming more resilient in the process how can you lose that is an exciting opportunity an exciting responsibility to find out what you're truly capable of a metal around your neck and a trophy in your hands provides but a moment of relief maybe a surge of excitement but one that will quickly and surely fade then you're back to square one and faced with new decisions can I do it again will I do it again again why the new challenges you face now you're so focused
on winning you didn't plan for what comes next after all that hell you just put yourself through are you ready to do it again but with more intensity if you're not improving you're falling behind now you've shown the world what you're capable of and expect nothing less another scary but exciting opportunity another opportunity to grow you may have busted your ass and gotten lucky once but that was then and this is now you can work 10 times smarter and harder than you did before but you're still promised nothing entering hell blindly with no promise of
what's on the other end is one thing but getting to paradise and then choosing to turn back around into hell full well knowing what to expect this time with a pipe dream of a better Paradise on the other end waiting for you that's Insanity the history of the habit of calling ambitious people crazy there's no guarantee of what you'll find on the other side of hell you may even be crazy enough to learn that it was never hell to begin with maybe just maybe you can open your mind to the possibility that paradise is found
in how you choose to look and act in this world Paradise like our goals will not really be a destination but an endless Horizon we secretly don't want to reach a never-ending reason to keep working and growing with the intention not to accomplish goals but to become someone who can accomplish any goal winning equally has no Finish Line it's about the responsibility to ourselves to take control of what little things you can in this world regardless of circumstance to train your mind to switch your perspective and focus on being the absolute best you can be
in the areas you do have control over having a champion mentality isn't about the trophies medals or success it's about having no quit not letting anyone hear you complain standing up for all you believe in living in your truth and setting the standard at which you operate at for everything in your life it's about willingly choosing to do every single thing within your power to achieve your end result at the end of it all you may just find that the trophies and money were never the prize you wanted but rather the journey the mentality you
built along the way with everything you ever needed [Applause] come on come on Chris come on two more [Music] [Applause]
