Real champions, true champions are the<br />
people who never leave you the same way<br />
they met you. They make you a better<br />
person.<br />
Who was the first champion in your life?<br />
not have been apparent to you at the time<br />
of your growth because a champion never<br />
sides with you but rather works hard to<br />
bring out your potential.<br />
Champions encourage you and help you<br />
to take a giant leap. Some Champions may<br />
not be men and women you encounter<br />
personally, you may inspired by their<br />
books, blogs or podcasts.<br />
3. INVEST IN RELATIONSHIPS<br />
True success is a network of relationships.<br />
It is said that you are only four contacts<br />
away from the person you want to meet.<br />
So if you do not invest in relationships you<br />
cannot have true success.<br />
4. FORGET THE PAST<br />
You cannot go forward looking backwards.<br />
If you must build relationships you will<br />
have to understand that as long as you live<br />
in this world people might hurt or offend<br />
you. No one builds great relationships by<br />
holding onto the past. Let the past stay<br />
where it is. Don’t bring it into today.<br />
5. INVEST IN GOD<br />
Maximise life by using your time to<br />
serve, use your talent to bless others and<br />
your treasure to make God’s Kingdom<br />
progressive.<br />
God is worth investing in because He<br />
invested in you first. He loved you first<br />
and if you were the only one on earth He<br />
would die for you all over again.<br />
A maximised life means knowing that God<br />
understands and answers our prayers,<br />
even when we do not have enough words<br />
to describe what is on our heart.<br />
A maximised life is finding what God wants<br />
you to be and pursuing that precisely.<br />
You must recognise that you cannot<br />
fix anything but with God all things are<br />
possible.<br />
Every time I think of a maximised life,<br />
the picture that comes to mind is fossil<br />
fuel. When it’s put under pressure<br />
several products emanate from this<br />
black substance. Some of the derivatives<br />
are: petroleum gas, lubricants, asphalt,<br />
kerosene, petroleum, aviation fuel, tar,<br />
diesel, waxes and polymer to produce<br />
plastics.<br />
Just as we have succeeded in putting<br />
pressure on fossil fuel and maximising the<br />
benefits for our optimum use, God has<br />
also given you a life that He wants you to<br />
live and maximise. In order to maximise<br />
your life you can use today’s advantage to<br />
buy tomorrow’s opportunity.<br />
WHAT IS OPPORTUNITY?<br />
An opportunity is when you find a problem<br />
and solve it. The problem you solve will<br />
determine your progress.<br />
