The Making Of A Champion

I often read books by Mike Murdock. He wrote a book called, "The Making of A Champion", in this book I have found several keys that I live by, can I share? Winning doesn't start around you- it begins INSIDE you. Failure is merely an opinion. You will never be promoted until you become over-qualified for your present position. Stop asking yourself questions you do not have answers for. Every champion must be willing to believe in his own dream when others seem too busy to uncaring to encourage him. Every man fails. Champions simply get back up and begin again. Boldly protect your ears and life from absorbing talk that does not edify and build. Failure cannot happen in your life without permission. All men fall. The great ones get back up. Champions do not become champions in the ring. They are merely recognized in the ring. Their becoming, happens in their daily routine. If you happen to read these, I hope that they are as inspirational to you as they are to me.
