The Extra Mile
Good enough is never good enough.
A Champion doesn’t do just good enough. Many people today want to do just enough to get by. Fewer and fewer are willing to go the extra mile. It’s getting tougher to find someone to simply go the first mile. I want to encourage you to have a; ‘and then some,’ attitude. Use your gift/talent to take you to a higher and new level of life. There is nothing like the adventure of walking in your destiny every day. Don’t settle for getting by or good enough. Don’t take your life for granted. You are here for a reason, you do have a purpose in the world. There is a specific reason for your being here. I am excited about your future. You are going to make a difference in the world. You have what it takes to be a world changer. You ready to go the extra mile today?

Being Relentless
Being relentless is what separates the good and great from the unstoppable.
What do you want to be good, great or unstoppable? First, don’t settle for good or even great, go for unstoppable. You may have settled in the past, but you don’t have to now. You have what it takes to be unstoppable, but you have to be relentless. Your purpose is too big and your destiny too awesome not to be unstoppable. Being relentless is not ever giving up, performing at your best at all times, operating in excellence in what you do. When everyone around is complaining and talking about everything being unfair; you keep moving forward. You are positive even in the middle of hell you are not distracted by what others are saying and doing. You are focused on the task at hand. Being relentless is going to put you in a small group. When you become relentless you are in rare air. Most people never go there, some don’t even want to. Be willing to pay the price and then go do it. Are you relentless?

Your Reality
If you want to be unstoppable, you have to face who you really are and make it work for you, not against you.
People pretend to be something that they aren’t, whether for the worse or for the better. Either way it won’t work if you want to be unstoppable. To be unstoppable you have to know you are in all reality. Once you know the true you, you then make it work in your favor. You were created to be a difference maker. You were created to be unique and specifically you. Being unstoppable doesn’t mean that you are perfect. However, if you are living in your purpose zone then you are perfect. Your imperfections are what make you perfect for your destiny. Be comfortable with yourself. Being unstoppable also means that you don’t stop yourself. Don’t wait another day. It’s time for you to step up to unstoppable. You have too much living to do not to be unstoppable. Are you ready to face the reality of who you are today?

Own It
A Champion’s attitude can be summed up in three words: ‘I own this’.
When you’re a Champion you don’t back down from a challenge. You know that no matter what happens you will find a way to win. You have the confident, borderline cocky attitude of ‘I own this.’ An unstoppable person is very confident but humble at the same time. There is a fine line there, but you are willing to walk it. You have to know that you have what it takes to get the job done. Whether it’s athletics, business world, or school; you know that you are going to get it done. There is no question that when you get knocked down that you will be back up. You have a destiny to fulfill. Too many people don’t ever get started living their destiny. This makes it even more important for you to live out your purpose. If you’re down, get back up today. ‘You own this.’ We are in this together.Are you ready to be mentally tougher today than you were yesterday?

Determined
A Champion will decide how to get the job done, and then they do whatever is necessary to make it happen.
There is no giving up in a Champion. Every Champion I have ever met is unstoppable. They see the situation in question, then devise a process to get the done completed. Then they do whatever has to be done to get it done. Once you have decided to take on the task, don’t stop until it is done. There are many who start the process but very few that actually finish. If you desire to be a Champion, that is the simple process. The process may be simple, however, the working of the process is the hard part. It is hard work being unstoppable. A lot of that comes from those that aren’t unstoppable, that don’t want you to be either. People that stop, give up and quit do not want you to keep going, not give up and finish. That is why you have to be determined when you are unstoppable. You have what it takes to be the Champion you have dreamed about being. Are you determined today?

The Respect and Awe
There is no privilege greater than the pressure to be a Champion, and no greater reward than earning the respect and awe of others.
I challenge you today to respond to the internal pressure to be a Champion. The price of being unstoppable is high, but the payoff is higher. We all want the rewards of being a Champion, but few are willing to put in the work. There are days when you just don’t feel like doing what it takes to be relentless. Those are the days when you have to double your effort. Do something that you don’t want to do. Champions don’t go by their feelings. Champions go by what has to be done and then do it. Remember, do or do not; there is no try. Determine today that you will do the work of a Champion. Whatever your field is, do your work with excellence. There is absolutely no reason or excuse for you not to be the best at what you do. You were created by God for this. This is your day. Be the Champion that you know you are supposed to be. Are you ready to do the work of a Champion?

In a Place
Ever been “in a place” where you were scared someone would speak to you; yet sad because no one did?
Only If you have been there do you know. When you walk into a room and see that person alone; have you wondered why they are not talking to anyone? Why are they isolated from everyone else? We all have been on one side or the other in this case; some have been on both sides. Our insecurities can put us in a place where we really don’t want to be. Those insecurities and fears will then keep us in that place. Today send notice to those insecurities and fears that we will not stay here any longer. Don’t let those insecurities keep you in that place. Just because you have insecurities doesn’t mean you have to stay insecure. Know that everyone has some type of insecurity. Don’t every let your insecurity lead you to think you are the only that has fears or insecurities. Today is your day to break out of that place?

In Case of Emergency
When everyone is hitting the “In Case of Emergency” button, they’re looking for a Champion. How you respond to adversity determines if you’re a Champion or not.
When those around you are caving in and are panicking; you remain calm and perform at a higher level. You are the one that they are looking for. You are the one that steps up to the plate and delivers more than anyone expects. A Champion does not have a panic button. There is no hysterical rant, finger pointing, head down, shoulders slumped. A Champion is poised even in the heat of battle. An unstoppable person is level headed. Champions are unstoppable and relentless because they know how to use their mental conditioning to control the physical. Champions in the physical are first Champions in the mental. They control the mind and then the mind controls the body. I see the opposite far too often. Watch those that lose it when the going gets tough. Those are the ones that are letting their mind control them and then the body follows suit. Are you in control of your mental game today? How do you respond when the ‘emergency” comes? Be the one who the others look for when the panic button is pressed. Are you a Champion today?

Body Language
A Champion has no need to announce his presence; you’ll know he’s there by the way he carries himself, always cool and confident.
Body language tells the tale. You can tell a lot, I mean a whole lot, about someone by their body language. Someone who is not confident will show it by their body language. The same goes true for someone who is supremely confident, a Champion. When a Champion is on board, he doesn’t have to announce his presence. You will be able to tell by the way he carry’s himself. There is an air of confidence. A Champion stands tall at all times. A person who is unstoppable acts like it. There is no hollering or acting out of control. This is because a Champion is always in control of their emotions. They know there is a job to get done and they do it. If you wonder if you’re a Champion or not; just check your body language. Do you slump your shoulders, eyes and head down? Do you shuffle your feet? Do you slump down in your chair? Scared to make eye contact? A Champion is secure in who they are. They know they own this! No slumping, no slouching. You’re not arrogant or conceded, but confident. You know who you are and what you can do. What is your body language saying today?

Stress Levels
Everyone wants to cut back on stress, because stress kills. I say, NO, Stress is what brings you to life. Let it motivate you to win.
Stress is most people’s life is a pipe buster. Stress to the untrained person causes medical conditions that do harm to the mind and body. However, to a Champion, someone that is unstoppable, stress is a positive thing. A person that is relentless will take stress and use it to push them higher. To this person; stress produces diamonds. Stress looked at in the proper perspective is great. Really the only time stress is a negative factor is when you don’t know what you are doing. If you are unprepared to go; then stress is an anchor holding you back. Stress to a Champion, who is highly prepared is like helium, it takes you up and over. This is why being prepared is so vital. Take the time to invest in whatever it is you do. If you don’t you will not ever be at the top of your game. Stress will keep you average if not worse. Today is the day to begin preparing to be the Champion you were created to be. Stress will never be a negative word in your vocabulary ever again. Are you ready to make stress your catalyst today?
