To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best: It all starts from a thread of belief. Unless we believe in ourselves, there’s very little chance of success in life. And even if we succeed without belief, we won’t be able to enjoy it because we end up attributing success to factors such as luck etc. Being a champion is a mindset. We all have unique abilities- let’s call that our leverage. If we compare ourselves to anyone, there will be areas of strength and weakness. The beauty is when we can use these strengths or leverage to create a path of victory for ourselves.

To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best – Muhammad Ali

Success starts from within. It is not the other way around. We can get a sense of accomplishment after becoming a champion. Unless you believe that you’re a champion internally, your chances are slim to get your success. We must find a way to believe in our abilities and creating a path for success. We will have weaknesses to overcome in the process. But our victory lies in going beyond these weaknesses to achieve success. (Self-confidence tips from Muhammad Ali)

Don’t succumb to the things a negative mindset tells us. It will make you question everything including your faith and belief. Find your source of strength somewhere and hold on to it. Becoming a champion isn’t going to be an easy task. You’ll have to prove a lot of people wrong. Don’t stand in the way of your journey to be a great champion. You must believe or else no one else will. It all starts from within and then projects to the world outside.

If you’re not, pretend you are

I’m not sure how much I’d agree with pretending to be a champion. But I see the point in assuming some of the personalities. For instance, how would we behave if we thought we were the champion? We’ll not have any doubts about our capabilities. Our minds will be free to think about creative possibilities instead of questioning whether we are capable or not. This part talks to us about being open and trying to find a path for victory rather than wasting our time defending our questions on why something is not possible.

We will always be able to find the reasons. But these reasons will never be fulfilling enough to find our path to victory. Pretending will not give you the answers, but some aspects of it might open up a path for you.
