OUTWORK THE COMPETITION:

Ralph Boston an Olympic gold medalist,
track and field, was one fellow who understood
the importance of overcoming a competitor.
He said that, “some days, when I didn’t feel like working out,
I would think about the guys I would compete against,
and I would realize that they were probably working out.
That’s all it took to keep me going”
One of his coaches told him that,
in life you meet the same people twice in life- on your way up
and on your way back down.
Their treatment of you the second time depends
entirely on how you treat them the first time.

To outdo your competitor, you need to keep in mind that,
champions are not made in the gyms.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-
a desire, a dream and a vision.
Do you have enough of these recipes to outdo your competitor?
In the game of life you play the way you practiced.
So practice like a winner, and when the time to play life comes,
you play like you are practicing.
Everybody is born a winner in some way,
but we negate that power in us, by listening to what other people tell us,
until we loose focus of our potential and goals.
There is only one winner who stands at the podium after the race is over,
there can only be one gold medalist in every race or event.
So practice today like that medal is rightfully yours,
and it will amaze you how all the forces of the universe
will conspire to grant you the victory.

It’s a choice you have to make…!
