This is a personal development article. Not Marketing. Not Entrepreneurship. I wrote this for several people. OK, is no news to anyone that many times we let a few “universal truths” take over our minds and dictate how our lives are lived and on what pace. We limit ourselves somehow while saying things such as “That is impossible to do”, “Now that this happened, I can’t continue my business anymore”, “This physical injury has now destroyed my career in sports for life”, “I’ll have to study 5 years prior to opening this kind of company” etc.
True champions are not born, they are made. Highly successful entrepreneurs, businessmen, sportsmen and all that were all purely made. Made from Ground Zero. From scratch. No excuses, just pure hard work. The number of hours that were put into daily perseverance, putting tons of hard work, sweat, and tears into something they felt right is what made successful people, successful.
But all that effort alone wouldn’t suffice because in life we all face tons of setbacks, and some of these setbacks can really put you down, killing the chances to succeed.
But even so, after facing enormous problems, people like Sylvester Stallone, Eminem, Henry Ford, Michael Jordan, Tyler Perry and others managed to win. They won the war. Yet, they experienced what to most people would mean “a reason to give up” or “a big failure” and yet, kept going towards their goals and dreams.
But how? How did they manage to pull off?
Are they different from ordinary people? Are they “special” somehow?
Negative. They just had one extremely strong thing: Faith.
Faith.
I’m addressing this because friends and wannabe entrepreneurs are frozen in life, too scared of facing REAL LIFE which brings the REAL DREAM to reality, once you endure the process.
Because you see, there’s no difference between you and your heroes.
They just “outfaith” you by far. That’s all. Nothing else.
Therefore, once you embrace faith things start to happen and problems start to become really small, up until a point that all of them simply disappear. Is it hard to believe? Yes. Is it the crazy for some? Yes.
But being different, unique, and legendary, requires many sacrifices, and you go through many things physically and mentally in order to prove yourself to the world.
Moreover, taking a path many don’t have THE GUTS to take or simply don’t understand, imposes a huge mental pressure upon one’s shoulders. So naturally, such pressure can only be blocked by spiritual strength that has the power to take over the human mind and INSTANTLY EXPEL that constant negativity that insists on annoying you while you’re pursuing something big, and legendary for yourself, which will ultimately help and motivate others.
Because you see, in life everything is just a Mental Game.
Everything. The way you frame your reality with your mind defines who you are and where are you going next. No circumstances, no situations and no lack of resources can effectively stop you. Not if you have true spiritual strength.
You’ll just be stopped if you allow yourself to be stopped.
Period. Because there’s always a way out to your problems and current stormy situations. Always. That’s Faith in action.
Therefore, I’m here to prove to you with a HORDE of examples, and real life stories, that giving up on your dream, your goals, your life, in the end, makes no sense.
Because once you understand that “the normal path” to greatness REQUIRES problems and tribulations to be experienced first, in order to motivate others later, in order to graduate as a great person, you start to understand that pursuing the end of a dark tunnel you’re living on at the moment, is what makes sense.
Because Faith when EXECUTED changes reality overnight.
It’s like a superpower. The paths to your life simply open when you begin to execute Faith.
And that’s a cold, hard fact that I’m about to prove you here through a number of real-life examples.
Just memorize the following image, and remember it while reading the successful life stories to see if it matches all real-life successful cases:

One final word before we start.
Why I’m such a hurry to say this? Because look, I see many people unhappy all the time. Why? Because they choose to model their actions based on advice from those who have a mediocre life.
People admire the great but follow the mediocre minds.
They assume all champions are better than them, which obviously is not true and I’m gonna prove it to you here.
The Champions just think differently, and that’s pretty much it. They THINK differently. No superpowers, no special resources, no monster advantages or anything else.
Just Faith.
Unfortunately, the “Normal” is to have “low levels of faith”.
But shouldn’t be the other way around?
Anyway…
Society is broken and many are unhappy because people usually simply fail to execute faith. They choose logic, and established, proven results over the unknown which may hold far better results. That’s the truth.
But what happens when you choose faith over logic? What if other people’s logic doesn’t concern how you should live your life? After all, if everybody is different, wouldn’t each one of our fates be different as well?
