I live in the company of extraordinary people. I call them Champions. In my line of work, I develop normal people to become Champions. I want to share a critical way of thought that is enforced by living examples of all the Champions in my life.
Champions usually deliver a sense of over-achievement (commonly mistaken for arrogance) simply because they are over-achievers. Their existence is rare and there are few in people’s lives, which tends to either inspire people deeply, or stir up feelings of jealousy(sometimes unconsciously) that cause people to repel them. And here’s why. Champions are not comfortable with getting what comes to them. They know what they want and that they deserve it. They will go all out to take what they deserve. And that is different because it is different from most people.
I want to start off by saying that I am aware that I MAY offend some people with what I am about to say. Some of you will hate this article. Some of you will hate the writer(me) of this article. It may be because I chose a bad font style or font colour. It may be because you are EXACTLY the kind of person I am about to describe. You will probably deny to death the painful truth. Maybe you think you are in fact Champion when you are not. But everything will be fine if you follow the one rule of this message: I talk, and you listen.
There are two kinds of people in life.
1) People – who believe they will not achieve what they sought out to accomplish.
2) Champions – who believe they will achieve what they sought out to accomplish.
The first group usually follow a formula to life. And that is “Realistic” + “Reasonable” = “Success”
They are usually successful. No, “successful”. They will forever only have reasonable success.
If life was truly a science, all I have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions, do a couple of success 10-year-series, maybe get success tuition from a cute success teacher and voila, the iPhone becomes my invention. If that is really the way, it will be impossible to find university graduates, unemployed and struggling through the early years of their career, only to end their struggle the moment they are fired in place of a younger, lower-paid employee (it hurts more if he/she is hotter too).
Most people are reasonable, that’s why they do only reasonably well.
Champions are NEVER real-world realistic. Champions are NEVER real-world reasonable. In fact, because of this, they can be difficult to deal with.
This is why they have unrealistic, dream-like achievements and blessings. This why they are treated unreasonably well and get away with more than most people do.
Take a look at Fashion. It is constantly changing because individuality is a highly-coveted prize and being unique is something everyone wants to be. But trends come about and change ever so quickly. This causes a lack of ways to feel unique. It’s the same for the famous iPod range of products, cars etc. Champions are always on top of these things. They have the newest look, the newest gadgets, spit the newest lines from the newest shows and often rock something even before it becomes famous, thus the sense of over-achievement you might get.
It is lacking that forces INNOVATION. People who settle are comfortable (or will eventually become comfortable) with everything, that is why they do not innovate. They are spoiled by their comforting habits, eating the same foods, living in the same place, wearing their same, new pair of jeans from the 1990s. This is why they are like everyone else. They have reasonable success and never get to feel the amazing feeling of over-achieving and doing unreasonably well in life.
When there is a lack of ways to an unrealistic level of success, you can expect a Champion to be on top of that case. An unrealistic dream forces a person to be creative, to innovate and to work unrealistically harder. It is only a matter of time and learning experiences before a person achieves that previously unrealistic level of success. Perhaps you, were meant to find that path to unrealistic success.
See you at the top, Champ!
