Are You a Competitor!

Swedish wrestler stripped of bronze medal!

That is the headline on yahoo and you can view it here:
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/wrestling/news?slug=ap-wre-medalstripped&prov=ap&type=lgnsT

This wrestler was stripped of his bronze medal for unsportsman like conduct during the medal ceremony.

Was he robbed? Maybe.
Did he lose? Yes.

I am not condoning his actions, but after reading the article it gave me an appreciation for what a competitor this athlete is.

Yes, sore losing...
Yes, maybe a grown man should not be acting like that...
And yes, that was probably not a good representation for his country.
I understand that.

But hear me out....
This guy came into the Olympics with one goal in mind and that was to win the gold medal.
Anything less than that was a failure in his eyes.

After losing in the 2004 world games, he was out to get revenge.
He has trained 4 years with one goal in mind...to get a gold medal.

And when this dream and goal did not become a reality he was outraged, he was dissapointed, he was upset....

THIS GUY HAS A PASSION.... a passion for what he does.
THIS GUY IS A COMPETITOR....and he hates to lose.

He was not willing to face the fact that his dream and goal did not become a reality.

Imagine if you approached everyday like this guy.
Imagine what you could accomplish with this kind of passion.

Imagine the BODY you would have....
Imagine the kind of Marriage you would have...
Imagine the Success Your Business would have.
Just imagine what your life would be like if you did not except anything less than greatness.
-Anything less than the best.
-Anything less than a Gold in all that you did.

Compete for what you want! THIS IS YOUR LIFE!

Never settle for less and never give up!

Chase your dreams and don't look back until they become a reality!

Go get it!
