Champion

 What have you been told today? Have you been criticized for your kindness? Have you been ridiculed for your passivity? But these questions seek for an answer, and the answer is where are the real champions? Woooo! This is a wonderful subject because when we think of champions, we usually think of those people who are athletic, we think of those people who have great physical strength and agility; but that is okay and that is fine and dandy, but they are not the real champions.
Many people succeed above and beyond measures because that they have the means to succeed above and beyond measures, either mentally, financially or physically, but they are not what is truly considered a "Champion". A champion is a person who overcomes the odds and the obstacles for the benefiting of survival, a mother who is raising a child all alone in a world that has forsaken her, so she does what she has to do and gets labeled by society, and she becomes an outcast, a father who has lost his job and struggles to take care of his family, women that are brutally abused in relationships in the physical and the mental, but remains to stay in the relationship for the sake of the children, or that homeless and poor person, who by any means necessary remain to survive year after year.
 Champions have a greater strength, and that strength does not pertain to glory or selfish ambitions, but it is the little things that matter, the birds that make the beautiful chirping sounds in the morning while the sun is rising, or the wind blowing on your face and through your hair, these things are what gives strength to champions because they have learned to overcome great odds and they have learned a new way of life, the way of adaptability.
When a person is treated unfairly, especially if they have a kind heart, they usually become passive, not speaking their minds, nor what they truly feel in their hearts, they just become receptive to accept whatever nonsense comes their way, and they deal with it without trying to have an altercation, especially when a person is degraded and belittled to nothing verbally. Life is really a puzzle, it cannot be directly understood, but only lived; and through the most dire experiences of tribulations are champions born, to be able to work more than the average person, working on a job that pays little or nothing, and stretching one dollar to its greatest length. Today my friends, you are a champion, you are a great overcomer of the odds that go beyond human reasoning, because it takes that internal power to allow a champion to be able to survive day by day and to live to tell the tale.

So what are the odds today that a champion can fail? The odds should be none because true champions originate from nothing into something, and they make the best of friends, wives, husbands, sons and daughters, because whatever obstacles come their way? They can overcome them, and even at this moment there are champions, going beyond leaps and bounds and letting love and the passion for desire to guide them.To all the champions around the world today, there is nothing wrong with being calm in heart and there is nothing wrong with doing what makes you happy, be happy, be strong, and let the true champion roar from among inside of you.
