Be Uncomfortable
You can’t be relentless if you can’t take discomfort, and you can’t be unstoppable if you only deal with pressure when you have no choice.
Being a Champion is not easy. It takes hard work, dedication, and discipline. People that are Champions never try to just get by or find the easy way out. However, once you make being unstoppable and being relentless a lifestyle you will be surprised how much easier it does get. You will have days that you don’t want to go the extra mile. There will be times when things go wrong. These are the days when you face adversity and back it down. I see people, especially parents, that don’t want their kids to have to deal with any adversity. They want life to be all smooth and easy. This will only make their adulthood that much harder. I’m no parent expert, but I do know that we all have to handle adversity in life. How we handle being uncomfortable and deal with pressure will determine how far you go in life. A Are you comfortable being uncomfortable?

Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
What greatness really requires is a willingness to be uncomfortable.
We talk a lot in Sports Psychology about being comfort being uncomfortable. To be a Champion you are going to be uncomfortable quite a lot. You are going to have to do the things that others won’t do. Why won’t others do them? Because they are not comfortable being uncomfortable. People that choose to be average don’t want to sacrifice to be the best. To be unstoppable means you have to put in the hard work, the time, the dedication. Being uncomfortable becomes your new comfort zone. Taking your game to the next level is going to require you to go to the next level too. It will require you to be relentless in your training. It doesn’t matter what it is you’re doing. You have to out work your opponent. When they get uncomfortable and quit, you’re just getting started. Are you willing to be comfortable being uncomfortable today?

Your Comfort Zone
A Champion steps out of his comfort zone and challenges himself to get to the next level.
To be unstoppable you have to be relentless in doing what it takes. Far too many people lack the ‘whatever it takes’ attitude. Getting to the next level is one of the things that being a Champion is all about. You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Another reason that most people don’t go to Champion status. You will never know how high you can go if you don’t push yourself past your limits. We place limits on ourselves that are far lower than they should be. Today would be a great day to step out of your comfort zone to see how far you can go. To be live with full purpose this is a must. Don’t stop short of your true destiny, because you didn’t want to move past comfort. I don’t think you can be comfortable knowing that you aren’t doing all you can do. Take your life to the next level and see just how exciting it will be. Being a Champion is the adventure of a lifetime. Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone today and become a Champion?

Not Necessary
It’s not necessary to tell a starving man he is hungry. It’s not necessary to tell a dehydrated man he is thirsty. So why must we tell people of their faults, mistakes, issues, and sins?
People know when they are doing wrong and the wrong they have done in their life. We all know the mistakes we have made, the sins in our life and the issues we face everyday. Having people throw that in our face is not going to help. Judging and condemning is not going to help. On the other hand, offering encouragement, hope, forgiveness, a shoulder to lean on can make a difference. Understanding where someone is, is not condoning what they are doing or agreeing with what they are doing. Offer people a peace of mind not a piece of your mind. We all have those areas that we need help in. Be an encourager today. Don’t tell them all the wrong stuff in their life, give them hope and build on the right stuff. Make a positive difference today!

Tis the Season
This time of year there are more depressed people than any other time. People tend to be more depressed during Thanksgiving and Christmas; the most festive time of the year.
During the Holidays make it a point to reach to those around you that don’t have someone in their life. Make those in your life know that you are thankful for them. Show them the appreciation, the love, the generosity that we all desire. There should be no one you are close to that is depressed; at least not because you didn’t do your part to help them. By helping others, we too are helped. If you tend to have depression this time of year; then by reaching out to others we get our mind on them and not on our own situation. Take time to give the present of hope today and everyday. You can make a difference in someone’s life and at the same time you will be making a difference in your own life. Be a giver of hope!

Going Through
No matter what you are going through there is somebody that has gone through it before you; take courage in that, have hope in that, you too can go through it too.
Life has a way to be very unfair at times. Many of you have had to endure some terrible situations, been done wrong, and had to go through tough times that no one should have to go through. However, you can and will make it through these times. Don’t lose hope, keep your faith, know that better days are yet ahead. You have not seen the end, but you are only in the beginning of your coming out. You can be a better person because of what you are enduring. If you have come out of your tough season, then don’t be bitter or angry because you had to go through it. Also, don’t hold unforgiveness toward anybody that put you through that difficult time. Freely let go and forgive today. Be the better person. Learn from your tough times. You are awesome. Today is your day of breakthrough!

I See
It pains me when I see people with unresolved issues, insecurities, anger, unforgiveness, and low self image. Hurting people; hurt people. Encouraged people; encourage people.
We all have something that we are dealing with in our life. You maybe facing something that seems to be overwhelming to you. You may feel like all the pressure in the world is coming against you. These issues if not dealt with can lead to insecurities, anger, unforgiveness and then to self image problems. No matter what you are facing today; be encouraged. Know that it will soon end. I could go on about the better days are coming cliques. However, I do want you to know, that right now you are right where you are supposed to be. You may not think so, but just know that if you will do what is right no matter what, then everything is going to be all right and alright. Just stay with it and don’t you give up. Don’t fold under that pressure. You are not alone. Be assured that your best days are coming soon!

Tired
There are times in our life that we get all tired; tired of trying to make it financially, tired of dealing with a sickness, tired of raising a difficult child, tired of being lonely, waiting for our break to come.
We can even be doing the right thing, the thing we love, living in the house of our dreams, raising great kids, in the best school, best job, but if we are not careful we can lose our passion and get tired. The problem is if you allow yourself to lose focus, you will be tempted to quit, to quit growing, quit standing for that child, quit believing to get healthy, or quit pursing your goals and dreams. That’s why you have to keep pushing forward and believing. Don’t give up when your breakthrough is right around the corner. God promises He will renew your strength. You will be able to do the things you were created to do. When we stay focused and trust God we will see our situations turn around. Today is your day to get your second wind and grow.

Hope Dealer
There are people that just need something good to happen in their life, they need hope, encouragement, a good break. They are hurting, in pain, wondering what will happen now. Be the dealer of hope to them today! Something great is going to happen in your life today; expect it!
There is someone you are thinking about right now that needs a pat on the back, because they have had a knife in their back. There is someone you pass by everyday that needs some encouragement. We don’t have to go very far at all to find people that are hurting. It may be you today. Know that today is going to be different from yesterday. Not the same oh same oh that you are used to getting. Expect something great is going to happen to you today. At the same time, those you are around need that same hope for their life. Be the difference today in someone’s life. Be a dealer of hope. Be the encouragement that gets them over the hump and on to better days. Despite what the government says, the news says, and even most churches; your best days are yet to come. If we have hope then we are set and ready. Know it, believe it, speak it, expect it and receive it today!

The Pain
We all are going to experience pain in life. Either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. I have experienced the pain of regret far too often; I am desire the pain of discipline over the pain of regret.
When we do what our flesh desires to do we will experience the pain of regret due to our actions. When we endure the pain of discipline; we will experience the joy of success for it. Either way our life is going to have pain in it. It is your decision whether it is the short pain of discipline or the longer pain of regret. There is a great reward for those that have discipline in their life. When we want to do what is easy and what everyone else is doing; but we instead do what is right. That is discipline. It takes discipline in our spirit, soul and body to get the reward of success. The peace that comes from knowing that we did the right thing and no matter what it looks like it is going to be okay. The rest that comes at night when you know you had discipline during the day and did what was right, not what was easy. There is pain with discipline but you will receive peace, joy and happiness from doing what is right. Do the right things regardless of the cost because the payoff is far more than anything it will cost you. I applaud you today! I know you will do what is right.
