Wats goodie world? I've been slipping on the writing lately but it's because I been trying to get my life in order so don't think I have just been out here lazy. With my second year of college wrapping up rather soon, I've been sitting and reflecting on what has easily been the most difficult of my life. But as I have been telling people who have gone through similar issues...you/we have made it this far so we have to rejoice in that...it's many who would do anything to be in our positions so what is the use of complaining...
Often times, we get caught up with where we want to be in life, that we ruin our chances of enjoying the space we are currently in. This is where the title comes from as the Kanye West song I got it from, preaches a similar ideology...I question you, "do you realize that you are a champion." Now while crossing the finish line should always be the goal, you have to realize it is not that moment that makes a person a champion...it is the battles that are faced along the way that make up the DNA of a champion. The trophy, the record deal, the diploma, the big paying job, all of those are signs of being a champion but they are not what makes a champion...
Failing in life is perhaps the true test of a champion because the reward one can gain from failing begins as soon as one gets back up and tries again. Defeat is only permanent when you surrender. As long as you continue to fight, take pride in it and use that as motivation for other situations. Not only does this help yourself work harder, but it builds a better circle of people around you, because the more motivated and inspired you are, the more individuals of that same pedigree will be attracted to you...
Whether or not we realize it, we all have a certain impact on those around us, through either direct or indirect measures. Many feel as if their good deeds go unrewarded, but I guarantee that another person was witness to that and whether or not they mention it to you, your dedication has helped them somewhat. Everyone has the means within them to change the world, so never believe that your efforts cannot do the same. You will never know if you can win, if you never enter into the contest...
Always take time to smell the roses, and recognize the greatness of what you have accomplished. Use your past to encourage you to do better, your present as a means of doing better, and your future as motivation to succeed. In all that you do, never put yourself down; the world is already trying to do it, so why be your own enemy?
