What Makes A Champion

WHAT MAKES A CHAMPION
by Elisa Feliiciano

What is a champion? A champion is a person who shows
superiority, a winner, a fighter or warrior, or one that
does battle for another's rights or honor,
but what makes a champion is the determination & the
belief of winning that lies within yourself  so
that you can be the best that you can accomplish.
To have the courage to face your fears and stand
tall to battle without being afraid, for your fears are your own worst enemy.
To believe that what is impossible to man or woman is possible through God,   
for success is failure turned inside out.
To not let nay sayers tear you down & tell you that "you can't" or
never let anyone tell you less of yourself.
To stand for what you believe in and to accomplish your goals,
no matter how old you are.
To enjoy what you do & apply it with grace & dignity.
To have a winning game plan & set that plan into action.
To bring everything you got to everything you have
with all of your heart, and to be humble and spontaneous in life.
To not give in or give up on your dreams & goals, no matter if things go wrong or whatever burdens come to your life.
To have the heart to defy against losing
and to withstand the impossible.
A champion is not measured on how many medals, trophies, or championship belts that you win, but on how hard you worked and how determine you are of winning,
but most important, to respect those you defeated as well as people of all walks of life, color & race is being the greatest champion of all.
