Victory is yours, claim it!

As I reflect on the Super Bowl game, I can't help but think of the many lessons to be learned. Lessons that can be applied to everyday life. What a game! The Patriots never gave up! I  am mindful of "never ever let them see you sweat" Although achieving victory may be difficult, know that you can achieve what you desire. 

In order to achieve your victory, you must begin with a clear vision and know what it is that you desire. Sometimes this is difficult. Although you know deep down inside what you want, you don't have faith and believe in yourself. Know that you can achieve what you believe, so if you don't believe it, you won't achieve it. Believe, be clear about what you want, and establish goals to bring what you desire to reality.  Write down your goals, make them clear and take responsibility to follow through. Now the real work begins. Achieving your victory requires commitment, meditation, patience, discipline, obedience, focus and the right frame of mind. You must remain positive. 

As I watched the Patriots players, even when it seemed like they would lose the game, they never gave up, remained focused,  committed and followed through. This is the kind of commitment and frame of mind you will need to achieve your victory. There will be times when you don't see how it could happen and it seems impossible. It is during these times you have to remain in a state of belief. Sit still, meditate and listen to that still small inner voice for support and encouragement. Don't hesitate to call on your inner strength, the more you use it the stronger you will become. 

Believing is the first and most critical step. As you think about what you want out of this life, prepare yourself to achieve it. Believe and have faith. Just like the Patriots didn't stop playing the game or believing, with this same type of  mindset, disclipine, obedience and commitment you can achieve your victory. Claim it!
