On Being a Champion

A champion is a winner, a hero... 

Someone who never gives up, even when the going gets rough. 

A champion is a member of a winning team... 

Someone who overcomes challenges, even when it requires creative solutions. 

A champion is an optimist, a hopeful spirit... 

Someone who plays the game, even when the game is called life. 

There can be a champion in each of us if we live as a winner. 

If we live as a member of a team. If we live with a hopeful spirit, for life.
