championship week

"Victorious warriors win first in their minds, and then go to war" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

As we begin this week, let's focus on winning the mental battle first.  Each of you will face this battle between positive and negative.  Focus on the positive, push out the negative with positive thoughts. The Native American legend of two wolves teaches us.  There is a good wolf and and evil wolf in each of us.  Which one will win?  The one we feed.  Feed the good wolf with positive thoughts, every day, all week.  Each of you is physically prepared, it is this mental battle that hangs in the balance. Feed the good wolf with positive thoughts, feed the good wolf with positive thoughts!

"Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go."
- William Feather, American author
