Past, Present, and Future

A major part of being a champion is taking ownership of your past, commanding your present, and taking charge of your future.

If you are going to be a champion in whatever field you are in today, you will have to take responsibility for your life. Own your past, whether it is good or bad. Take ownership. Call a thing a thing and own it. If you past is not good, it doesn’t have to define you, but you do have to own up to it. Learn from your past no matter what it looks like. If you don’t learn from the mistakes then you will make them again. Learn from the good past and use the principles to move forward. Being a champion means commanding your present. Be in command of your choices and decisions. Use wise counsel when making decisions, no matter how small or large. You are the sum total of the decisions you have made up to this point in your life.  Being in command of your present will move you forward and closer to your destiny each day. Take charge of your future. By using your past and present you will be in position to take charge of your future. If you aren’t in charge of your future someone else will be. Don’t let others determine the outcome of your life. Take responsibility today for where you are heading. To be a champion you will have to use your past, present, and future in a positive way. No more whining, blaming, fault finding, or being a victim. Today is your day to take the reins of your life. Are you taking responsibility for your life today?
