💭 TBT MOTIVATION

I AM A CHAMPION 🏆

I remember being in an institutional facility, being taken and put in isolation.

Naked, cold, angry, and overwhelmed by the feelings of despair.

And in it, I believed that I had no control.

That I do not matter, that my problems and my unresolved emotional issues would always seem to get the better of me in every situation.

And I would forever find myself held hostage to this place of no value. 

The idea of believing that you can develop yourself into something that could be great at something can be forever impaired.

If you allow that to be the only way that you see yourself.

The Bible says that the people are dead for their lack of vision.

Lack of vision means everything because then you don't know where you're really going.

You're not well invested in how to get where you want to go.

You can start to employ some really desperate attempts to pull yourself up, by tearing everybody down.

But if you can tell yourself:

“You know what, I just want to find something I'm really good at. I want to find something and get really good at it. In fact, I want to be the best at this thing. And I'm not going to let anything stand in my way.”

I am a champion.

You can become either one of two things… your own worst enemy, or your own most powerful ally.

Thoughts Become Things.
