This is a great question. Yes you were born a champion (see Born a Champion), but you may not be winning in life. Perhaps you are not actually experiencing the life of a champion. Why?

Do you know that a survey was once made by a team sent out by Jack Canfield. This group followed 100 school children for one complete day making note of the words which were spoken by these youngsters.

Astounding Result:
The average number of positive words spoken by these children was 72.
The average number of negative words spoken by these children was 684!

Another statistic: By the time a child is 7, he or she has heard the words “no, don’t or can’t” 17 million times versus the word yes (and other positive words).

Now we know that words and thoughts create the atmosphere around you.

With so many negative words spoken around you and by you, what kind of atmosphere surrounds you?

With so many negative words spoken around you and by you how can your champion spirit develop?

What would happen to your champion spirit?

In an atmosphere such as the one we have described the growth of your champion spirit will be totally stunted. Your spirit will be dormant even dead.

Your spirit can come alive!
Now if you read and believe the Bible, you will know that the way to quicken (or make alive) your spirit is to accept Jesus Christ into your life. (Read John 3:16 and Romans 8:11 in the Bible)

Your spirit needs to develop.
But it does not stop there. You now need to develop your champion spirit so that you become a PRACTICING CHAMPION. This is the person you were created to be.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10 New International Translation of the Bible)

You were created to live life to the full!
