Unstoppable Excellence
If you want to be truly significant, you can’t be content with “pretty good,” You have to be unstoppable.
A Champion has a goal to be significant in their field of choice. There is no room for just good enough. There’s no place for real good. A champion, a person of significance is going to be strive for excellence. A person of excellence is unstoppable in what they do. When an unstoppable person sets their mind to getting the job done, nothing nor anyone will be able to stop them. God has put a desire in your heart, a burning passion to be the best at what you do. It doesn’t matter what He has called you to do, do it with all your might. You have been called to be unstoppable, a Champion. You a a difference maker, it’s time to start making a difference in the world. Today is your day to get started! Are you unstoppable?

Blame Game
Some folk show up, do what they do, and if it doesn’t work out, they blame everyone else.
A person of excellence, a Champion never blames others when things go wrong. They take responsibility and keep grinding until things go right. It’s those that don’t have the determination, the maturity, the mental toughness that try to shift the blame to others. Today let’s give the credit to others and if necessary take the blame. Do what it takes to finish the task at hand. Things aren’t always going to go right, expect that in life, but don’t tap out. A Champion is a finisher. You get the job done no matter how long it takes, no matter the cost. Are you a blaming or a Champion?

Mental Conditioning
The world is full of incredibly talented people who never succeed at anything.
Talent alone will only get you so far. These days the talent level is getting close to parody. In sports, in business, in entertainment, the gap between the best and the average is getting closer each year. Talent by itself will not make you unstoppable. That being the case, there are many talented people that never make it to the top. Without the mental edge, a talented person will not succeed. Most people spend all their time working on the physical aspect but neglect the mental part. The mental edge, that mental toughness, is what separates the average from the unstoppable. Look the the Champions at whatever it is you are doing and you will find at least 90% of the time that 90% of them are spending a lot of time on mental training. They have discovered what separates them from everyone else. I encourage you today to invest in your mental game. Take the time to make a major difference in how you perform. Take your game, whatever it may be, to the next level. Become the Champion that you were created to be. Mental Conditioning will make the difference when talent has taken you as far as it can. How is your mental conditioning?

Next
The minute your mind thinks, “Done,” your instincts say, “Next.”
We talk often about not giving up. It’s entirely up to you. When you have been pushed to the outer limits of your mental and physically endurance, it’s time to find that extra gear. This is the make up of a Champion. When everyone else is stopping, you’re just getting started. When others are giving up; you are finding a way to win. Being a Champion means you don’t quit when everyone does. A Champion has a different mindset from the rest of the crowd. You have to get accustomed to the truth that you are going to be in a small crowd compared to those that just want average. However, it’s worth it when you experience being unstoppable. The hard work that goes into being a Champion is really a small price to pay. Next?

Demand More
Being relentless mean demanding more of yourself than anyone else could ever demand of you, knowing that every time you stop, you’re not done.
Champions are harder on themselves than anyone else could ever be. So it stands to reason that Champions would demand more from themselves too. Being a relentless Champion doesn’t mean being perfect, but it does mean excellence. I encourage you to demand the absolute best from yourself each day. Never settle for just getting by. Don’t just do the minimum, but go the extra mile. Being a Champion isn’t easy, but the more you practice it, the easier it gets. Stay focused on what you are supposed to be doing. Don’t be distracted by what others are saying and doing. Be relentless. Be a Champion. You are a relentless Champion today. Are you demanding more of yourself today?

Getting Better
I don’t care how good you think you are, or how great others think you are–you can improve, and you will.
I have had the experience of working with championships teams in Mental Conditioning. One thing that was common was that there was always room for improvement. This is true for you and I too. No matter how good you are, you can always be better. I stress to people not to be a perfectionist, but to always strive to improve. Most people once they feel like they have accomplished their goal, made it to the top, or finished the project tend to get complacent. This is a dangerous place to be. When you stop improving, stop trying to get better, then someone is going to take your place. The saying, ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, is misleading. You can always tweak it. If you can’t tweak it, then I suggest you break it. Be careful when reading your success headlines. Stay focused on your purpose and destiny. Keep looking for ways to make yourself and those around you better. Are you getting better today?

Being Relentless
If you’re relentless, there is no halfway, no could or should or maybe.
A person of purpose is relentless. You are a finisher. No try; do–Yoda. Yoda was relentless. He is a finisher. So as a person of destiny you have to be like Yoda. There can be no quit or give up in you. There is only do. Being relentless is not easy, but a person of purpose doesn’t look for easy. However, being relentless is very satisfying and fulfilling. Once you have committed to living a life of purpose you will see life in a whole new perspective. You look at life as a challenge, an adventure. Even if your purpose seems small and insignificant; live it to the fullest. There are no insignificant and small purposes or destinies. Be relentless today. Are you like Yoda?

Process Thinking
Let others judge you by your results, and nothing else; it’s none of their business how you get where you’re going.
Your process is your process. Others will not understand some of the processes within your process. Never let that be a distraction for you. It’s not up to them to evaluate your process. What they need to look at are the results from your process. Keep working and making the necessary changes that are needed. It is always a good idea to get good advice from those that have gone before you and made it. However, when people begin to criticize you be sure you are able to stand your ground. In order to stand your ground you have to be on a strong foundation. This is why it is vitally important to have a solid process. Your plan for your purpose and destiny has to be strong. Let your results speak for themselves. What does your process say about you?

Good Thinking
It’s time to stop listening to what everyone else says about you, telling you what to do, how to act, how you should feel.
To be a person of purpose and destiny you have to know the truth about yourself. That won’t happen if you are listening to everyone else tell you who are you. Too many people like to try to tell others how to live their life. There comes a time when you have take responsibility for your own thinking. Your thinking will lead you to your full destiny. When you have to answer for your actions good and bad; you need to be able to be able to stand on your own thinking. By all means get good, smart advice from wise Godly people. However, bottom line is you have to be you. Main reason is everyone else is taken. Being mature enough to do this will make your destiny even better. Develop the discipline necessary to be the person you are supposed to be. What are you thinking today?
