As we continue to explore what it means to be a champion we come across a vital quality that must be evident. The quality of Flexibility. Flexibility is the willingness to change plans or ideas without getting upset. That is quite out of the norm in today's time! When is the last time change occurred around you without someone getting upset and making their displeasure well know to all who would listen?
A Champion has a different approach to change. They know that the only thing constant in life is change and many times change that is beyond their control. My dad once told me that you can not control the change or circumstances that come into your life, but you can control your attitude and response to them. That is exactly what a Champion does! They do not allow circumstantial changes beyond their control to change who they are and how they respond. Instead, they embrace the change or idea with an outlook of optimism, courage, and a long-term perspective in mind so that the change has a positive effect on their lives and an opportunity to learn and grow from it.
Remember, a rubber-band does not do it's job until it is stretched!
Love all of these Scott. This is one of the things that I have a problem with is change! Just have to remember to respond correctly! Look forward to reading more!
