This Is The Attitude Of A Champion

Matt. 5:41 - "And whoever shall force you to go one mile, go with him two."   NASB 
  • Do More Than Is Required 
Jesus was teaching and He says, that if the Roman soldiers force you to carry their pack for a mile carry it a second mile. Do more than is required and in so doing you will honor your God.
 
I was speaking to a well known college wrestling coach a few years back about one of his National Champions. I asked him this question, "What is the difference between him and your other wrestlers? He said without hesitation, "Oh that is an easy question to answer. He does more than he is asked."
 
"How so?" I inquired. He said, "If I tell the team to do 100 pushups he will do 110. If I tell the team I want 20 laps he runs 25. If I tell them 25 pull ups he will do 30. Everything I ask the team to do he will always add more to it."
 
Jesus taught what this wrestler was doing 2,000 years before he was born. He was going the second mile. 
  • Do You Have The Champion's Attitude? 
The champion's attitude is do more than what is required or in Biblical language we say, "Go the second mile." Do the little extras and you will benefit from them.
 
So what is happening in your life right now where you need to make a commitment to go the second mile? 
  • Are You Going The Second Mile In Your Marriage?
  • Are You Going The Second Mile With Your Family?
  • Are You Going The Second Mile Spiritually?
  • Are You Going The Second Mile At Work?
  • Are You Going The Second Mile For Your Team?
  • What Can Motivate You To Go The Second Mile? 
I have spoken with numerous wrestlers about motivation and they don't all use the same method.  One wrestler told me that he visualized his opponents up early training so he would get up early to train because he didn't want to be out done by his competition.
 
Another wrestler said he visualized his opponents in bed sleeping and he was up training getting the edge over his opponents.
 
I am not sure which type of motivation will work for you, but my recommendation is find the one that works and allow it to catapult you to the next level.
 
Think On These:
 
The world might be improved with less television and more vision.
 
The largest room in the world is the room for improvement.

Stay Pumped,
