Always Remember these 4 Principles

Always Remember these 4 Principles

In 2006, I came to the realization that the success of world class athletes is not a mere coincidence. There are four principles that they use to create, or increase their chances of achieving, success in their lives and that these principles are universal – they can be applied in any area of our lives and still produce the same result: SUCCESS!

Want to know what these principles are? Then read on.

§        World-Class Athletes run a given and fixed course.

The World-Class Athlete cannot choose to start the race
from any position, to run in any direction, to run any length
or to finish the race anywhere on the track.  NO!  On the
contrary, the World-Class Athlete is shown a specific
starting point, a fixed route which he or she must follow
as well as a specific finish line. If the World-Class Athlete
fails to adhere to these guidelines he or she is disqualified from
the race.

When God created you, He did so with a
specific purpose in mind [Jeremiah 1:5].  
Find out what it is. Ask Him what it is [James
1:5]. See what it is; write it down and run with
it [Habakkuk 2:1-2].

§        World-Class Athletes increase their chances of
winning by training themselves regularly

Nobody likes discipline but everyone loves the benefits that
come with it.  Likewise, a World-Class Athlete takes on
the discipline of training him or herself regularly.  He
or she does this in order remain in shape and to
improve his or her performance, thus, increase his or
her chances of winning.  
________________________________________________
Discipline yourself to begin to do things that
enhance your chances of achieving your
ultimate goal – fulfilling your purpose. Taking
a single step at a time, begin to spend more
and more time doing these things.  In the end
they will become a part of your life and each
day you will find yourself in a better position to
fulfill your purpose.
 ________________________________________________

§        World-Class Athletes all have one objective: To WIN!

In their own right, all World-Class Athletes are winners.  For
anyone to reach the world-class level they will have
outperformed those they competed against at preliminary
levels.  Also when they reach the world stage their primary
objective remains to outperform their competitors. That
being the case, we can conclude that World-Class
Athletes are winners [who are] looking for another
win at a higher level of competition in the same game.
________________________________________________

Your ultimate goal in life should be to
fulfill your purpose. However, this is not an
event, it is a process: you achieve your purpose
in stages.   So, set out to win in every stage.  
Each successive win will get you to the BIG race
- where will fulfill your purpose.
________________________________________________

§        World-Class Athletes are crowned the best
Everyone who competes at world-class level wants to either
possess or retain the title that is given to "the best" in a
particular discipline or a series of disciplines.  
________________________________________________
To fulfill your purpose is to be the best in
what God created you to become. Find out
what it is; discipline yourself to follow it; win at
every stage! There is a crown waiting for you in
heaven.
