			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src = "http://mindsetforliving.com/images/FaithfulWhyWarrior.jpg" alt = "I am a strong faithful Why Warrior Champion" class = "alignright"/><strong>Today is Day 4</strong> of following the <a href = "http://www.LifeStyleFreedomClub.com/cmd.php?af=1039353" title = "Lifestyle Freedom Club" target = "blank">210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge</a> which means we have 4 affirmations to declare. </p>
<p><strong>You are doing great!</strong> Remember the seed. You don&#8217;t dig a seed up every day to see if it is growing right. Just keep watering it. </p>
<p>Keep feeding your brain with your positive words and affirmations. You will be amazed at the results. (I am seeing results). </p>
<p><strong>Today&#8217;s Affirmation is: </strong></p>
<div class = "topiccent">I am confidently walking strong as a Faithful Why Warrior Champion.</div>
<p>Now don&#8217;t forget you need to obey your brain&#8217;s new commands with ACTION. </p>
<p><strong>The formula for success is:</strong></p>
<div class = "topicback"><strong>Words</strong> (right words thought and spoken)<br />
plus<br />
<strong>ACTION </strong>(right action in response to your right words)<br />
<strong>= Success.</strong></div>
<p>Respond to those new ideas and opportunities! Your actions need to follow your words.</p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s repeat it again:</strong></p>
<div class = "topiccent">I am confidently walking strong as a Faithful Why Warrior Champion.</div>
<p>One word jumps out at me from this affirmation:</p>
<p><strong>It is the word strong. </strong><br />
A strong person is also a determined person right?</p>
<ul>
<li>It takes determination to stay strong in challenging times.
</li>
<li>It takes determination and strength to keep your focus on your goals and dreams when challenges arise.
</li>
<li>It takes determination to pay no attention to the scoffing and negative comments that you may hear around you. </li>
</ul>
<p>Yes you <strong>are</strong> a Champion <a href = "http://mindsetforliving.com/day1-affirmation-challenge" title = "Day 1 Affirmation Challenge">(see Day 1).</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/djangoreinhardt/albums/album/23571571/django_reinhardt__le_quintet_du_hot_club_de_france" title="Reinhardt Django"  target="blank"><img src="http://mindsetforliving.com/images/1428102_170x170.jpg" alt="Reinhardt Django" align="left" /></a>I recently learned that one of my jazz guitar heroes, Reinhardt Django, turned a major <strong>obstacle</strong> into an extraordinary <strong>opportunity</strong>. His outstanding and unique technique which made him famous was born out of adversity.</p>
<p>A fire broke out in Reinhardt&#8217;s trailer home. A candle had been tipped over and it fell into some celluloid flowers which ignited in an instant. Reinhardt Django&#8217;s left hand and right side from the knee to waist were badly burned as a result of this fire. It took him 18 months to recover. </p>
<p>Even then his recovery was not 100%. The fourth and fifth fingers of his left hand were permanently curled towards the palm of his hand. This was caused by the tendons shrinking in the heat of the fire. How could he ever play jazz guitar again?   </p>
<p>Reinhardt could use these two damaged fingers but with great limitations. He could not extend them beyond the first two strings of his guitar. But Reinhardt was not stopped by this limitation. In fact because of his determination to achieve his dream he turned this obstacle into an opportunity.</p>
<p>With <strong>great determination</strong> he created a completely new fingering system. This new technique contributed to his fame. As a result of his expertise, he was invited to become a member of the famous <strong><em>Hot Club of France.</em></strong> </p>
<blockquote><p>Because of his relentless focus on the fulfillment of his dream despite the handicap that was thrown his way, he created a new fingering technique that left his audiences in awe and made him famous.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>What an inspiration! </strong><br />
It does not matter what obstruction you may meet with in life. What matters is what you do with it!</p>
<p>What can you and I learn from Reinhardt&#8217;s example?<br />
Any obstacle can be turned into an opportunity. It simply takes:</p>
<p><strong>Desire. </strong><br />
Do you<strong> REALLY</strong> want to achieve your goal? Is it something you are passionate about?</p>
<p><strong>Determination.</strong><br />
The adversity that comes your way is a test of the reality of your desire to reach your objective. It can be an opportunity in disguise, or it can be an excuse to quit. It&#8217;s your choice. The option you decide on will reveal just how strongly you want to succeed.</p>
<p><strong>Discipline.</strong><br />
It may take a lot of extra work and practice to overcome the obstacle that has presented itself. However, if you have passed the test of desire and determination, applying discipline will be easy.</p>
<p>You too CAN overcome any obstacle and turn it into an opportunity! It CAN be done. Notice Reinhardt&#8217;s fingers in the video below.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://mindsetforliving.com/images/ChampionDraftHorse.jpg" width = "120" height = "85" alt="Champion Draft Horse by Paul J Everett on Flickr" align="left" />There are at least three characteristics of a racehorse that becomes a champion.

<strong> ** </strong> They are born of champion stock, but that is not the only thing that makes a winner.

<strong> ** </strong>They are trained by the right trainer. A trainer can make or break a good horse.

<strong>**</strong> It has also been noted that a champion horse seems to know that it is destined to win.

Champion racehorses are very valuable animals, and in their lifetime they usually win millions of dollars for their owners.

Now, all of these characteristics and more belong to YOU. Why?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mindsetforliving.com/images/ChampionDraftHorse.jpg" alt="Champion Draft Horse by Paul J Everett on Flickr" align="left">There are three main characteristics of a racehorse that becomes a champion.</p>
<p><strong>A champion racehorse is born of champion stock</strong>. However this is is not the only thing that makes a winner.</p>
<p><strong>A true champion is trained by the right trainer.</strong> A trainer can make or break a good horse.</p>
<p>It has also been noted that a champion horse seems to know instinctively that it is <strong>destined to win.</strong></p>
<p>Champion racehorses are very valuable animals, and in their lifetime they usually win millions of dollars for their owners.</p>
<p>Now, all of these characteristics and more belong to YOU. Why?</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>You were born to be a champion.</strong> But do you <strong>really </strong>KNOW that? Or has that knowledge been suffocated by the trials of life, by things that happened in your past, by things that people have spoken or by words that <strong>you</strong> have thought and spoken?</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>You CAN really know you are a champion. How?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>It starts by you making a firm decision. You will need to decide once and for all that you ARE going to receive in this life everything that is rightfully yours.</li>
<li>It will take determination to reach the goals that are buried in your heart.</li>
<li>It will take discipline to change your mindset so you can be empowered to achieve those things you really want to do and have.</li>
<li>It will take time and effort to train your brain and to learn. A champion is constantly learning. Reading, research and learning new things is a part of building and maintaining the champion mindset.</li>
<li>It will take strong focus. When you are focused on your goals, obstacles will seem insignificant. Your mindset will be positive which will empower your creativity to find the solutions needed to overcome those obstacles.</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="http://mindsetforliving.com/images/TheFaceofaChampionbyHarpersbizarre.jpg" alt="The Face of a Champion by Harpersbizarre on Flickr" align="left">Take a look at the face of this young girl who is ready to ride in a championship.</p>
<p>I see a strong focus and concentration on what she is about to do.</p>
<p>I also see a determination to win.</p>
<p>What do you see?</p>
<p>Are you ready for a total transformation of your mindset? Are you ready to <strong>REALLY</strong> believe that you are a winner? Are you ready to become what you were born to become &#8211; a champion?</p>
<p><strong>So how can you train your brain and create a champion mindset?</strong><br />
One of the best ways to train your mind to focus on the positive is to spend time every day affirming those things which will point you in the right direction. </p>
<p>Make sure that you write down your affirmations in your journal. This will help you to remember them, and also remind you to continue to declare them. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=http://sn.im/n684l+Reading:+Do+You+REALLY+Know+You+Are+A+Champion" title="tweet this"  target="blank"><img src="http://www.mindsetforliving.com/images/tweet.jpg" alt="Tweet this" align="left"></a><strong><br />
Start with this affirmation:</strong> &#8220;I was born to be a champion, therefore I have access to all that I need to be a winner&#8221;</p>
<p>Say it out loud at least 10 times. Continue to repeat it throughout the day.</p>
<p>I highly recommend a 30 day course that will definitely get you into the habit of making <a href="http://sn.im/n3y8l" title="Affirmations Course"  target="blank">positive affirmations</a>.</p>
<p>This course is an organized and defined system that will really help you form a positive mindset.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bestaffirmations.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=1083_1_bid_3"  target="blank"><img src="http://www.bestaffirmations.com/affiliates/image.php?bid=3&amp;mid=1083" alt="" align="left" border="0" height="125" width="125"></a>You will not be the same again if you truly follow this step by step affirmation course. This is one of those training systems that WILL get you on the road to winning. You can find it <a href="http://sn.im/n3y8l" title="Affirmations Course"  target="blank"><span style = "text-color:blue";>here</span></a></p>
<p>I know you CAN win because</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src = "http://www.mindsetforliving.com/images/triumph.gif" align = "left" alt = "The Champions" />The main purpose of this blog is to inspire, challenge and motivate you to be the <strong>CHAMPION</strong> you were created to be in every area of your life.</p>
<p>A champion is not someone who has reached victory via an easy path. You will more than likely have to  fight hard and jump over many obstacles, to make your victory happen. </p>
<p>If you made a <strong>decision</strong> to win no matter what, <strong>before</strong> obstacles showed up, then giving up will never be an option.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what makes <strong>YOU</strong> a champion. The key word is <strong>DECIDE</strong> At any given point, you can decide to win or you can decide to give up.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000; size = 20;">A champion is  someone:</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>who knows where he/she is going. A champion has a clear sense of <strong>direction</strong> and does not let anything stop them from reaching their goal.<br/><br/>
</li>
<li>who has an intense<strong> desire</strong> to achieve victory in their chosen course. This desire leads him/her to spend the necessary time and effort it takes to continually train and develop himself for the success he is planning to achieve.<br/><br/>
</li>
<li>who has the <strong>discipline and determination</strong> to continue on his/her course no matter what happens.<br/></li>
</ul>
