What Champions do!

And just like that, the Cleveland Cavaliers are World Champions! It can be argued that a call here, a suspension there could have changed the outcome of the 2016 NBA Finals. Steph Curry, Lebron James, Draymond Green and the other supporting cast members of both teams definitely put on a show for all their fans. But the thing that stands out the most to me, is the heart, the gut and the sheer determination of a man and his team to overcome insurmountable odds. Not only did Cleveland win, but they made history as well. To become the first team to come back and win a series after being down 3-1 is incredible!!! OMG!! I mean...who does that???
I believe that the win solidified Lebron James place in the talk about historic finishes, as well as being one of games greatest. Regardless of how you may feel about him, "the decision" drama, or whatever. He won! See when you talk about a champion, you're talking about a person who has developed a keen ability to drown out "noise." You know what noise is right? Noise can be characterized as people in your life like family, enemies and yeah sometimes even your friends. I have noticed in my 46 yrs on planet earth, that "noise" effects everyone.Depending upon how you and I handle that "noise", will determine what a champion will do. Just like Lebron and those Cavaliers we're all faced with choices everyday. Do we step up to the plate and keep swinging for the fences, or do we just settle because it's too hard? You see my friends. It's not that champions aren't affected by what people say or do to them. Oh no!!! It's just that they have decided what ever happens you won't see them throw in the towel! What do champions do?? They fight! And they keep on fighting! And they keep trying something else! And if that doesn't work, they try something else!!
You cannot keep a real champion down! Winning is won with the right mind set first, and then it's manifested. How are you thinking today? What's your approach to the life you're living currently? What do champions do? They keep coming man! They demand more of themselves than anyone else. They have decided to leave all out on the floor so to speak and so should you and I!!
Champions just do what has to be done, so there will never be a regret about their effort!!
Sodas Down!!! Waters up!!!
