Speaker 1 (00:00):
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to
prepare for each challenge alongthe way towards success.
It's not simple, but it can bedone.
Welcome to my Common SenseMotivation episodes.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
The mirror can't see a champion.
Today's message is for thefighter in you, the one who's

(00:21):
still standing, still swinging,even when life hits hard.
Let's talk about what achampion really looks like,
Because somewhere along the way,the world fooled us into
thinking that champions come inone style they always look
polished, confident and perfect.
But let me tell you somethingChampions don't come a certain

(00:41):
way, they don't look a certainway.
They don't act a certain way.
Some don't look a certain way,they don't act a certain way.
Some of the greatest championswalk into the room quietly,
carrying the weight of the stormon their back, but their spirit
refuses to break.
You might be looking in themirror today and thinking I
don't see strength, I don't looklike a winner, I don't feel

(01:02):
like I'm enough.
But here's the truth Mirrorslie.
They don't show the fire inyour soul.
They don't reflect your fight,your journey or the way you
refuse to quit when everythingin life tells you to give up.
The mirror can't measure heart.
It can't calculate courage.
It doesn't know what you'vegone through to survive.

(01:24):
So I need you to hear meclearly.
Whether it's a struggle of alost business, starting over in
life from failures, losing aloved one, overcoming health
challenges, whatever it isyou're facing setbacks or just
the weight of life.
The mirror doesn't define you.
You do.
You're not done yet.

(01:45):
You're still in the ring.
You're still breathing.
That means you're still in thefight.
So stop looking for confirmationon the outside to see if you're
okay, you are.
Start declaring victory fromthe inside.
Life changes and so do youAdapt, Because a true champion
is made long before the trophy,the title or the applause.

(02:08):
A true champion is made insilence, In the tears no one
sees, In the discipline when noone's watching, In the decision
to get up just one more time.
And let me say this clear againthe mirror only reflects a
champion when it's looking atsomeone like you.
So straighten up, stand back onyour feet, wipe what life

(02:32):
circumstances have flashed infront of your face, lock in and
refuse to quit, Because, nomatter what it looks like right
now, believe me when I say youare learning, you are growing
and you're becoming exactly whoyou were meant to be.
This is a reminder Never giveup because someone else may need

(02:53):
your help going through lifeand you can help.
Never give in.
Life is always testing you andtraining you to become who you
were meant to be.
And remember real champions arebuilt from the inside out.
Make it happen.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
Thank you for listening.
