The document discusses different ways of defining and measuring success and achievement. It summarizes Marianne Williamson's quote about our deepest fear being our own power rather than weakness. It then questions the traditional definition of a champion as someone who wins competitions, saying this sets us up for failure by comparing ourselves to others. Instead, it suggests striving for personal excellence and improvement by measuring our values against our potential, and finding true nobility in being better than our previous selves rather than others.

Champion!

2. “Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be
brilliant?
Actually who are you not to be?”
-Marianne Williamson
