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 />
