Forgive and Forget It
No matter how good you are, you will face disappointments.
It may be something simple like not getting a promotion you hoped for, or not closing a business deal you worked so hard on. Maybe you didn’t qualify for a house you really wanted, or maybe something more serious happened like a relationship not working out, the death of a loved one, or some kind of illness in your body. Whatever it may be, the reality is that we’re all going to suffer some setbacks. No matter what has happened, one of the main keys to overcoming disappointments is learning to let go of the past. If you feel “stuck” today, you may want to examine what you’re holding on to. Be willing let go of past disappointments by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who did you wrong? Release it. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive forgiveness? Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the your full purpose and destiny.There is freedom in forgetting! Have you forgiven and forgot it?

Never Settling
Too many people today have settled for “good enough.”
They’ve lost their passion and just sort of go through the motions of everyday life. At one time, they had a big dream. They were excited about the future, but they hit some bumps along the way. Something didn’t happen on their timetable. Now they’ve gotten discouraged, thinking that it’s never going to happen. They accept it as their lot in life. Don’t let that be you! Just because you haven’t seen it yet doesn’t mean that it’s not going to happen. Don’t make the mistake of settling for good enough! Good enough is not your destiny. You are a Champion. You have greatness on the inside. You were created to be excellent, Start believing again. Start dreaming again. Start pursuing what God put in your heart. Stir up the fire within you and don’t settle for good enough! Have you settled today?

Love the Negative
Love negative people because they make you positive.
When someone is negative I make it a point to find the positive. If they are talking about something negative I take the challenge to discover the positive side. Negative people drain the energy out of those they are around. Rather than letting the negativity drain you love them. Learn to appreciate them. They make you be even more positive. By their being negative it makes us want to be even that much more positive. It won’t always be easy or fun, but it is a refreshing way to deal with them. In time they may also see how you live and actually start to become more positive. Not everyone will but some just might. No matter what though, always find the positive side of every situation. Step back and have a positive perspective. Your life will be better and so will the lives of those you come into contact. Be the thermostat and not the thermometer. Set the standard for the room. Bring a positive environment to light. Are you loving negative people today?

Struggle
Love the struggle because it makes you appreciate your accomplishments.
I have never known a Champion that has not been through some tough times. We all face struggles in our life but only those that are unstoppable make it through. The average person gives up and quits when they are facing difficult situations. A Champion welcomes the struggle because it makes the rewards of winning that much sweeter. The average never get to experience the love of winning on a day-to-day basis. Find a way to overcome the struggle and move on the next struggle that’s coming your way. Be relentless in the middle of the tough days. Don’t ever give up. Be the Champion that you know you are. Are you loving the struggle?

Challenge and Purpose
Our purpose is greater than our challenges.
I could not write anymore and enough would have been said. In your life you will face some serious challenges but know that your purpose is far greater. Always know that your purpose will be defined by your challenges. Many think that once they have discovered their purpose they won’t have challenges. Nothing could be farther from the truth. When you discover your purpose you will see an increase in your challenges. Welcome the challenges that come your way. Learn how to overcome them. You will gain in your destiny and purpose each time you come up against a challenge in life. To be a Champion you will have to know your purpose in higher than any challenge. No challenge that comes up against you will be able to stop you because you are unstoppable. A relentless person will attack the challenge until they have won. It’s time to get serious about your purpose. What is your purpose?

Thought Patterns
Negative thoughts are the nails that build a prison of failure.
When you allow your mind to focus on the negative you will begin to fail at things that you used to succeed at. Never let your mind wander to the negative perspective. As a Champion you must focus on the positive side of the situation. This is especially true when it comes to thoughts about yourself. Always be positive in your self talk and thoughts. There are many people that have gotten so accustomed to negative thought patterns that they think that’s the norm. This is not true. No matter the situation there is a positive perspective. To be unstoppable you can’t be a negative thinker. You have to develop a positive mindset. Relentless competitors have the mental toughness to maintain a positive outlook at all times. Train your mind to stay in the positive thought pattern. You will see your failures turn into successes when you do. What is your thought pattern today?

Your Place and Time
We all face situations where the odds are against us.
We don’t see how we could get well, how a relationship could be restored, how we could ever break an addiction. In our mind, it all seems impossible. It’s easy to just accept it and think, “This is my lot in life.” You may suffer a temporary setback, a disappointment or an unfair situation; but if you’ll keep moving forward, it won’t be permanent. What you’re facing may seem bigger, stronger and more powerful, but deep down, don’t be intimidated. Know that you have a Champion’s heart and mind. You have what it takes to be the difference maker in that situation. You are not a victim but rather a victor. You are stronger than you may realize. You have been created for this specific time and specific situation. Don’t ever back down or give up! Be unstoppable and relentless today! Take care of the situation and be a problem solver. Are you ready to face the situations in your life today?

Your Peace Umpire
An umpire calls the players safe or out. We have an internal umpire, so to speak, calling the plays and giving us direction.
Before you ever make a decision, you should stop and see if you have peace inside. If there’s unrest or an uneasy feeling inside, then don’t move forward. Let peace be your umpire. How many people get into a relationship that they didn’t have peace about and end up miserable? They buy things they didn’t have peace about. They end up in debt. They take a job they didn’t have peace about. They end up frustrated. Here’s the key: If you don’t have peace before you make the decision, you’re not going to have peace after you make the decision. If you don’t have peace about that person now, you’re not going to have peace if you get into relationship. If you don’t have peace about buying that new car, you’re not going to have peace when the payments come each month. Remember, God gave us peace for our protection. No matter what circumstances look like, always trust His inner peace. Let peace in your heart be your umpire and settle any questions you have in your mind. Do you have peace today?

Say It Today
Don’t focus on your circumstances. Focus on the right beliefs that will help you build your success.
Are you ready to see something new in your life? The question is what have you been saying? Are you saying what you see in your circumstances? Are you talking your worries and frustrations to others, or are you declaring the truth over your life? The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That means we set our future according to what we choose to say. If you need to see change in your circumstances, then start by changing your words. Don’t use your words to describe your situation; use your words to change your situation. Start declaring new things in order to start seeing new things! Speak blessing, speak peace, speak wholeness — declare the truth and watch your future change for the best. What are you speaking over your life today?

Great Days
I expect great things to happen today!
You get what you expect. I am one those people that love Monday’s! It’s a fresh start to a new week. I love it! I am believing that today will be the greatest day of my life and of yours. The truth is, it is up to you and me if it will be the greatest day or not. Make the choice right now that today and each day from now on will be the most awesome day ever. It’s not dependent on the circumstances or what you are facing that determines it. What makes today the greatest day ever is your perspective and attitude toward it. How you handle and deal with the adversity you face today. Don’t let others determine whether you have a great day or not. Never give another person that much control and power over your life. You have the mental toughness to be in charge of your outlook and perspective on your day. I encourage you today to expect great things to happen today. Make today the greatest ever! How do you approach each day?
