There is no known shortcut on how to be a champion in life. Winning has very little to do
with luck or chance but rather with the end result of all the work you put in. So, to have
the heart of a winner, you need the dedication of one who knows what he wants and what
he has to do to achieve it.
Can you dedicate yourself each day to your dream? Could you believe in something so
much that you would put yourself at risk? Would you face down everyone, including the
weak voice inside of your mind to make what you believe in come true?
If yes, then you have the heart of a champion. There are maybe people that have more
talent than you, but there is no excuse for anyone to work harder or smarter than you do. At
the end of the day, whether you believe in talent or not, it is entirely irrelevant. Everyone
should believe in working smart but even more so, in endless practice.

2. “We all love to win but how many are willing to train?” – Mark Spitz, 1972 Olympic Gold
Medalist.
Everything in your life is literally a result of training and repetition. You are born an infant, a
lump of flesh that can’t even hold its own head up. At first, you are plainly incapable of
anything. And yet, somehow, by learning, practicing and growing, you can be better.
The Human Adaptation Machine
At one point, it is safe to say that every skill that you have in your life, all the things you take
for granted, you could not do them. So, you must understand that human beings truly are
an adaptation machine and that they are capable of acquiring any skill that they want, but it
requires that you do the work, put in the reps and provide the effort.
And at the end of the day, the people you are going to surpass are not those who have
less talent or more talent than you. But it is going to be the ones who you are ready to
outwork. So, to be a champion, you need to be willing to outwork them, or you are always
going to be stuck.
“To do anything really well, you have to overextend yourself.” - John Irving
The Crucial Factor for a Champion
And that is a crucial factor! If you want to put in an extraordinary performance, be a
champion and absolutely dazzle people, then you have to do something unusual. You have
to be willing to put yourself out there, do things that others think are going to break you,
and that people just believe that there is no way that you can pull that off.
Besides, they may also believe that the human animal is incapable of the lengths to which
you are professing to go. But when you declare it, you have to be willing to back it up. And
you have to pull yourself on that step knowing that in no uncertain terms, under no
circumstances and for no reason whatsoever, would you ever be willing to back down.
So, when you go in with that level of certainty, then and only then are you actually going to
be able to pull it off, become a winner and a champion in life.
“Champions keep playing until they get it right.” - Billy Jean King
The Resilience of a Champion
In fact, fatigue will literally chip away at your will to win. It is the thing inside of your mind,
that weak voice that tells you that you are not going to be able to make it. And it also is this
small voice which begs you to stop and promises safety and security if you would just quit.
And here is the worst part about that, it is right. If you quit right now, it is okay, stop, just sit
down and relax, you are not at risk anymore. You are not in danger of embarrassment,
failure but you are also not at risk of greatness. If you want to be a champion in life and
achieve something, you have to be resilient and find ways to put yourself at risk of
something great happening.

3. So, you have to overextend yourself and be willing to face that you may suffer, actually fall
or even die. But here is the thing, for if you dismiss that, and say that you would never put
yourself in that situation; then it means you have limits. And make no mistakes; these
limitations are self-made.
The Heart of a Winner
So, if you are willing to push and go beyond that, then you have the heart of a winner.
Champions understand that there are things in this world that they must be prepared to die
for, and it is the thing that they put in the center of their lives.
And it is the stuff they are living for and are not going to stop because they understand that
where the human mind thinks it will break is far short of where it will actually crack. But
before you can find that point, you got to be willing to push yourself harder and further than
anyone thinks is reasonable or practical. That is the path to become a champion in life.
In truth, you can do anything you want without limitation. Whatever it is that you decide you
want to make come true in your existence, you can do that. Of course, it is going to take an
inhumane amount of work. You are going to need and prepare to break yourself in half,
learn more than anyone has ever learned, push yourself and struggle harder than ever
before.
Pushing Beyond Limits
Furthermore, you will have to go way beyond your breaking point, until you fall asleep, and
then you will have to push, and push some more. Then, when you hit the limit, you must
push again beyond that. So, you need to force yourself into a mode of an adaptation
response.
“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X
Well, if you want to be a champion and do notput the work in today, and if you do not do
the unending, back-breaking work of developing yourself into something greater, the world
is going to pass you by.
So, the people who are going to own it are going to be the ones that did the work. And the
one promise that I can make you right now is that somebody out there is outworking others.
That person is doing the things which are necessary. They are doing the work of failing,
getting up, being better, and pushing themselves.
The Mindset of a Champion
The individual who wants to be a champion is figuring the incredible adaptation response
that makes humans the apex predator. And so, if you do not, the future is going to belong
to that person.
“If you cannot fly, then run; if you cannot run, then walk; if you cannot walk, then crawl.” –
Martin Luther King Jr.

4. So, whatever you do, you have tokeep moving forward. You have no right to make
excuses, slow people down, or ask the world to stop so that you can step in front. And it is
never okay to expect little of yourself but demand great rewards. The only thing that is good
is to be in line with the way that the world works.
How to Be a Champion in Life
Therefore, if you want to be great and become a champion in life, you have to be capable
of greatness. You got to develop your set of skills. Take what you have now, and if that is
crawling, then crawl. If need be, drag yourself ever forward to a vision of yourself that is so
clear and so specific that nothing can knock you off your path.
You have to know exactly where you are going and be willing to pay whatever price it will
take to get there. And no matter what anyone says, or the obstacles are in front of you, or
how many people throw dirt on you, stop you, knock you down, come for you or chop at
you, you will rise, get back on and keep pushing forward.
In this way, you will get better. You will crawl until you walk; walk until you run, and run until
you fly. And that is the only road forward. So, if you want a future that makes you happy,
become a real champion and have a world that you are excited about, then go out there
and earn it.
My Final Advice
Behind the glory, there is a dedication to training, learn and practice that you must give
hour after hour, day after day, year after year. And there is a commitment of time required
because it does not happen just magically.
So, lasting results only come with continued practice. Steady growth is essential to be a
winner in any category of your life. At the end of the day, no one is going to do it for you. So
if you want to be a champion in life, keep going until it is done.

you.
