Be A Champion
Day 237 of Photo Inspirations — BE A CHAMPION
I stumbled across an incredible article yesterday, “10 Actions to Make This Your Best Day Ever” by family friend and business associate, Tom Hopkins. Tom is a legend in the sales industry, particularly because he has taught and coached on being successful in sales for many years. So when he speaks, it’s really worthwhile to listen and put his wisdom to use.
We had just about every one of his sales trainings (then in cassette tape form). When our daughter, Staci, was a part of the “Get Motivated” Seminars that traveled the U.S. giving great one-day trainings by renown and high profile people, we met Tom. There was an immediate connection. Staci was belting out optimistic and motivating songs and speaking, and Tom asked if they could collaborate on a CD called “Be A Champion” (the name of his training seminars) that would be full of songs that she would write and record. She did and she and Tom were the Executive Producers of the album. That album was truly a blessing and big motivator to many. Lots of folks told us they loved to work-out to the upbeat music and lyrics — that it started their day with enthusiasm and energy.
I just thought you might find that FACTOID interesting, but this post is really about that article I read yesterday. Those “10 Actions to Make This Your Best Day Ever” will certainly create the CHAMPION within us. It brought a new perspective to my day. I sincerely hope it does yours:
1. I will try to live and delight in the reality of being alive. My past is forever gone, my future an uncertainty, so I will be happy and thankful for each moment.
2. I will not allow negative input into my mind. Happiness is a choice, and I choose to be happy.
3. I will be thankful for my health, my loved ones, my business and my country. I will also be thankful for any pain in crisis that helps me grow personally and professionally.
4. I will take care of my body, realizing the importance of the words, moderation and balance—and how much easier it will be to control my will and my actions once I’m conscious of this.
5. I will treat everyone I meet today the way I would like to be treated. I want people to like themselves more when they’re with me.
6. I will avoid gossip, jealousy and negative thinking. Most people don’t think about what they think about. But today I will make a conscious effort to hold positive thoughts in my mind.
7. I will write down my priorities, thinking of my loved ones and my responsibilities. I might not get everything done, but I will do the most productive thing possible at every given moment.
8. I will strive to humble myself around others, controlling my ego and making other people feel important.
9. I will learn how to better serve people. I know my growth in all areas is in direct proportion to how I help, how I give back.
10. I will not take rejection personally. I realize they can only reject my ideas and not me. I will keep on keepin’ on.
Great food for thought and I’d say THAT food is not only good for the mind….but it’s good for our bodies and spirits! Go ahead BE A CHAMPION!
