You can be a champion

The Choice is YOURS

A collection of thoughts on the amazing journey that is life... as well as a few thoughts touching on the “spiritual dimension/journey”

"Success: how and the spirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles, the frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky path-way of life's magical and mysterious journey. Light your path brightly."
- craig

The greatest mountain we need to climb lies in our our own minds". It's not the highest mountain that we conquer, but ourselves, our own mentality. Overcoming perceived limits to reach (attain) the pinnacle of our own minds."
- craig (as inspired by the words of Sir Edmund Hillary, conquerer of Mount Everest (1919-2008)

" I truly believe we can ALL create and enthuse magic into 'so-called humdrum little lives'. You don't just have to be the choreographer, or the conductor of your life script - rather paint your life as the masterpiece it could (one day) be. There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul, that flows through the spirit of God. So don't spend your days stringing and tuning your instrument; start making and playing your unique tunes of music right now."

"If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven composed music, or
Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well
that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well."
- Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

CHAMPIONS

Very few of us can be champions. But what is a champion?
For me a champion is the ultimate winner. A consistent top performer on all occasions. The word champion covers everything. It means courage. It indicates skill. It denotes spirit. It signifies a willingness to take chances. It expresses an inner fire. It tells the story of everything in a life that is worth fighting to attain and keep.
- Charles B.Roth (an American captain of industry

"Champions aren't made in the gym. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - an inner flame that burns brightly...with purpose, desire and passion. True champions live the dream, the vision of who and what they can one day become.... even a long time before it happens."
- c
and another version

"A champion is not a title, but a set of qualities: Champions aren't made in the gym. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - an inner flame that burns brightly...with dedication, purpose, desire and passion. True champions LIVE the dream, the vision of who and what they can one day become.... even a long time before it happens."
- craig

“True champions, like an Ayrton Senna, are able to find a new level (of performance) - when required, they have the ability to “dig deep” and find something very special inside themselves.”

“I want to write the way Gilles Villeneuve drove and power-slid his blood-red Formula One Ferrari… with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, combined with the artists craft of a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life.”

CHOOSE To become the champion of your own life... by making it the very best you can. Then have great fun reaching for the stars and discovering the champion of life in YOU through playing your own brand of music on the magical journey of life.

Craig Lock ("Information and Inspiration Distributer + totally unmusical motor racing fanatic and passionate petrol-head")

“Together, one mind, one life at a time, let’s see how many people we can impact, encourage, empower, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their
fullest potentials…and so become ‘ever more champions of life’.”

When (or perhaps if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith and love be the wings that carried you there.”

“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope* and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.*”
- craig

“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”

"Driven to share, uplift, encourage and (perhaps even) inspire"

“I wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.

I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.

I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”

– Larry S. Chengges

”Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand.”

– James Elroy Flecker (1884-1915
