ANYBODY can be a winner. If you like, a doggone champion!! All he needs is a mental commitment to himself. He has to wake up one morning, looks into the mirror and say "from today, I am training to be a champion. I will think like a champion, talk like one and be one in every respect."
If he isn't taken to the mental institution by a distractor, he will soon be a champion. His determination will carry him there. Champions are simply ordinary people with an unshakeable faith in their own God-given abilities.
Nobody is born a nobody. Everybody is somebody. You may not be 7ft tall but at your own height, you are just as special as Carl Lewis or Sugar Ray Robinson. Why do you think there are so many Rocky wannabees around? It's because everyone wants recognition but sadly, most of these dreamers don't want to work at it.
Rockys become real life Rockys because they fight for it. It's blood, sweat and tears, brother. There is no short-cut. Don't feel sorry for yourself. If you do, soon everyone else will too. And if that happens, then you really deserve the pity.
"Don't give me your pity!" is one of those phrases that are greatly disliked by people who want to fight their own battles. Be like that. Fight your own battles. What is life, if not battling the odds and winning in the end. Even if you don't win, it's a nice thought to know that you have tried.
Yes, New York Times is not going to around to cover your every drop of sweat or blood you shed. Say, you are only one of the six billion people on earth. Not everybody gets a fair shake of the Press.
However, every person is special. Tell yourself that every morning when you brush your teeth. I remind myself every hour of every day. I am special. No, I don't have three hands or four legs. If I do, the circus wants me, not my wife.
You are special. You are unique. If you are a father of at least one child, your son or daughter will know that you are special. Feel the hand that slips around your neck. Look at the way, your child stares into your eyes. You are special, my friend. Your child knows it, your wife knows it, your family knows it but you deny it to yourself.
It's time to love yourself, my man. If you don't love yourself, it will not show in your persona; in the way you walk; in the way you talk; in the way you carry yourself.
Women love men who are confident. Clearly, those men who love themselves are themselves loved by others. Be one of these champions. The suns rises tomorrow. It's another chance for you to do good.
For heaven's sake, give yourself another chance. Every morning of every day, every person gets another chance to be a champion. Sure, you often don't get it right the first time. Can you imagine how predictable and boring it will be if you get it right every time the first time? Man, life will be horrible like that.
There must be a bit of a struggle. Something to tell the folks back home; of how you fought a great fight and won, plus a few bruises to add character to your face and persona.
God knows it is not meant to be a walk in the park for everybody, otherwise what is the purpose of life? Nobody will learn anything. Everybody will just wake up every morning and smile like a blinking idiot!
Life is an adventure. It will be an adventure if you willingly participate. You learn and want to help others. That's another way of becoming a champion. Champion in other people's eyes. They will believe in you, then you believe in yourself and the circle is complete.
Go, my son. The world is waiting for you.
Be a champion
