Champions are born not made. On the other hand, habits are made not born. Our habits, good or bad, are developed over our lifetime. They reflect the things we believe, the things we read and listen to, and our choices in friends. Every habit you possess has been developed. You don't have any habits that came to you at birth. I often say that a birth certificate gives people the right to achieve their dreams. But, a birth certificate does not give you your set of habits. Those are built and developed.

You weren't born brushing your teeth. You had to develop that habit. Do you ever miss a day of brushing your teeth? Needless to say not. That's the power of a habit. So, let's take a look at diverse behavior.

What are loser routines?

Before we consider the habits of Champions, let's look at what not to do. Here are a couple of characteristic habits of losers:

Focus on Money. One of the things I've observed is that losers are almost always focused on money. They don't have it, they want it, and they will do anything to get it. When people chase money, they end up broke. Contrary to what you have heard, money is not the root of all evil; the love of money is. Loving money will lead to petty (or larger) theft, cheating, gambling, and all kinds of corruptions. Champions are focused on serving; losers are focused on money. If you serve from a pure heart, money will follow.

Here's another problem with love of money: the law of sowing and reaping. People that are focused on money are sowing the seed of greed everywhere they go. Trust me; that little crop will come up. They will reap their own greed in many situations from their own employees, their clients, their vendors, their business partners, etc.

Education Obsession. Very first, let me say that education is great. I have a degree, and I believe education can serve a clear and fine purpose in our development. But, to see education as a synonym for success is 1 from the signs of losers. Obtaining a diploma is only 1 step of preparation. It doesn't matter whether you're educated or not; you even now have to "Find Your Why and Fly." You even now need to separate from poor and negative influences; you even now need to be an icebreaker, and all the other things that mark Champions. Always keep in mind that talent outweighs education (or a resum) any day.
