CHAMPIONSHIP MODE

A few weeks ago I went to see motivational speaker Trent Shelton at a function called #THEGIVEBACK. This event was hosted by a few friends of mine but it was absolutely incredible!! For those who don’t know who Trent Shelton is, he is a former professional football player and is now a motivational speaker. You can find him all over social media and YouTube with these 2 minute videos to get you going towards your dreams and simply motivate you to strive for more.

I really needed some direction because I feel that right now is my season to step out on faith and make some moves. I have always been the “friend” that people call when they want to know what to wear or what to do in some situations where they feel lost or simply just want something encouraging spoken upon their life (I’M THAT GIRL)! I am finally doing what God has put on my life and simply blessing whomever with the message that is given to me.

He spoke on being in CHAMPIONSHIP MODE. Championship mode is that final game that you play and its game time. You are amped up and running on adrenaline but you are ready to play. I played sports my entire life and have made it to quite a few championship games and there is nothing like this feeling. Being that this is something that you chase on a consistent basis you have to get in grind mode. You have to train to make it this far. RIGHT NOW is the time that we need to get in training to make to the championship game.

I don’t know what everyone is going through or what needs to be done to get you in championship game mode but here are a few tips given from Mr. Shelton himself that should bless your life

1. Appreciate the opportunit­­­­y
   1. First thing when you wake up say Thank you!
2. Feel your Vision
   1. Go into your day believing that this thing is about to happen. Expect that you are about to take over the world!
3. Prepare yourself for greatness
   1. Get ready to be the best you
   2. Give your all
   3. Control your effort
4. Protect your identity
   1. Know that if I can change just 1 life, I can change many!! That 1 life will always start with me
5. Create new peaks
   1. Don’t be afraid to go thru the struggle. If it’s worth it then it won’t be easy and if it’s easy, it’s not worth it.
   2. God introduces you to strangers and they become friends. They are there to elevate your life.

Think about this…. If all you had to offer was friendship, who would still be a part of it??

6. Leave your mark on everything that you do
7. Attack your possibility
   1. Sometimes you have to say no to things that will not allow you to see your yes
   2. Do something every week that seems impossible
   3. Be very particular about who you are around or what you are around. Those thing subconsciously influence your life be it negative or positive so always BE AWARE!!
   4. People will bring you down faster than you can lift them up. You help people with YOUR life. You can’t change their lives you can only plant seeds. Show by example how you are living to make people want to do more or live better.
   5. Set a standard to live by and not a goal
   6. Stop watching someone else’s life and start to live your own
   7. Do something where people watch you instead
8. Forget fear
   1. It will keep you out of your comfort zone
   2. “Where faith lives… Fear cannot survive”
   3. WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU FEAR… GO DO IT IMMEDIATELY!! Like…………………….. TODAY!!!!
9. Next Level
   1. If it is not moving, then it’s dead or about to die
   2. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
10. Fall in love with progression
    1. Fall in love with who you are becoming
11. Celebrate your life
    1. Learn to pat yourself on the back sometimes
    2. When you first did something you loved it and you become addicted. Keep that same attitude with your life’s calling
12. Empty yourself everyday
    1. You should be exhausted at the end of the day. Not because you’re lazy but because you gave your all TODAY
    2. Even when you lose YOU WIN!
    3. There are certain things that are in your life that will scare off your opportunity. Purge yourself of these things. My grandmother always told me that you have to let go of things in order to get more.

Just know that you deserve exactly what you settle for. So please don’t complain if you’re not willing to walk away from it. Move on and change the identity of it.

I hope this has blessed your life and if the message wasn’t for you and you just need to pass it on then don’t be afraid to do so.
