Book Cover & Preview Text
As Jim Rohn said, “Don’t wish things were easier, wish you were better.” Things are not easy, yet you can always get better. The key is to know who you are, know what you want, know what you stand for, and always create the win/win, and ask for what you want and fight from a place of love and honor. The key is to fight for what you believe in, and to fight for what is right, and to fight for a better life. Everybody fights, so what are you fighting for? Always come from a place of love, and follow the joy, and live-in wellness. Make smart choices, think smart, reflect on everything, have integrity, communicate clearly and fully, and take responsibility for everything that shows up for yourself and your life as then you are just able to respond. Relax and respond only when necessary, otherwise relax and surrender, and “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” and BE LIKE A BOXER, and bob and weave, and stick and move, and get through the eye of the needle. Stay calm in the storms. See everything, have divergent focus, open your awareness, and be aware always. Work harder on yourself than you do on anything else, and life will become easier. FIGHT! PLAY TO WIN! Nobody is getting out alive, play full out. This is not a dress rehearsal; it is your one and only chance at a life. Do not dream your life, live your dream. Live a created life. Humans have an innate need to be a winner as winners belong. Winners reap the benefits and rewards in life. If you hold the trophy or the belt, you hold the power and the status of achievement. You earn your championship in practice as champions are made when nobody is watching. Sports mirror life. Success is not a destination; it is earned every day. I always say, “the hardest thing in life is ‘easier said than done’.” To be a champion, you need talent, skill, and hard work, yet hard work beats talent when talent does not work. Your success lies in your choices and the magic of it is created in the process, not the outcome. I have a sign over my bed that says, “It’s the journey; enjoy the process.” It is the everyday, small choices, that challenge your comfort zones and complacency. Small choices have us embrace accountability and build grit and create life-changing impacts when made consistently over time. We do not wish for success; we work for it and compete for it. Our greatest opponent is the one we see in the mirror every day. BE F.I.T. Fight for Intentional Transformation…FROM LOVE. Contribute to society, make an impact, honor yourself, take care of yourself, serve, and contribute and follow all these 101 rules to being the CHAMPION BOXER OF YOUR OWN LIFE. BE THE UNDISPUTED CHAMP, THE HERO YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WAITING FOR, YOU. BE YOUR FUTURE SELF…NOW! Each chapter will identify and detail a different rule and trait you must possess to ensure being the hero of your own life. Each rule is paired with a famous boxer’s quote or two. They are what champion boxers possess. They are what successful people who win at life possess. These traits are not a result of genetics, but key choices made on a daily basis. They are simple yet not easy. If they were easy everyone would be a champion, and just know you have what it takes to be THE CHAMPION OF YOUR OWN STORY you create as your life. My intention is that this book will be the catalyst that opens your eyes to the choices champions make, while inspiring you to do the same. BE A CHAMPION. YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES.
