The Champion's Corner: All That It Takes Is All That You've Got

In order to reach your goals in life you have to first believe that you can. I can remember what my father told me before I went off to college, “Son all that it takes is all that you’ve got and all that you’ve got is all that it takes. It’s true. You can reach your hearts desire if you believe you can. You have all the necessary equipment to make it happen. You have the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else, you possess knowledge and the ability to learn. You will never run out of room to grow. You will never run out of new ideas, or paths to follow. You have sills and talents that have been untouched. Did you know that each person has approximately 700 different skills in their repertoire? 700! It is now time to tap into all these skills and put your where you belong on top! No need to look any further for opportunities, you are the opportunity you look for. Your imagination is just a preview of what is possible for you to achieve in your life.
I like what Jesse Jackson said. “If you can believe it you can achieve it”. In my opinion, it is impossible to have a desire to accomplish something in life without also having what it takes to achieve it. Think about it for a moment, whatever it is that you really want, in a sense, is already yours. For how could you sincerely desire it, if you could not realistically expect to have it? Somewhere deep within you there is a voice that keeps telling you we can do this. For example: I have no desire to give birth. None what so ever. And guess what? It would be impossible for me to do so. I don’t have what it takes to give birth. But I do have a desire to direct of movie for the big screen. And guess what? I have what it takes to do it. I know I do, it is all inside of me urging me to try. That’s my desire. Consider the Neil Armstrong. He had a desire to go to the moon. How outlandish was that during that time period. Nobody had done it although many thought about it. But Neil had a deep desire to achieve it. And because of this deep desire and the right preparation he went to the moon. Shoot for the moon
