are you who you want to be?”

“If you’re not a champion, you’re losing.”
“… You are going to win a national championship for Alabama!”, Bryant Said.
What he didn’t say is, “you might”, or “you could”.
Instead, Paul “Bear” Bryant said,
“YOU ARE”.
You might know Paul “Bear” Bryant as an American college football coach. What you might not know is that Bryant is considered by many as one of the best coaches to ever coach the game. He was best known as the longtime head coach of the University of Alabama football team and during his twenty-five year tenure as Alabama's head coach he accumulated six national championships and thirteen conference championships! Upon his retirement in 1982 he held the record for most wins as head coach in collegiate football history. At the University of Alabama, in his honor, now stand are the Paul W. Bryant Museum, Paul W. Bryant Drive and Bryant-Denny Stadium. Some of you may even remember him for his trademark ‘houndstooth hat’, deep voice, casually leaning up against the goal post during pre-game warmups, and frequently holding his rolled-up game plan while on the sidelines.... An honest and hardworking man, Paul “BEAR” Bryant was a leader and was confident.
Now, what you might not know is that Bryant had a belief, a faith and a confidence in not just himself and his football team, but also in God. This is what drove him to become such a great leader. My great-grandmother died when I was 15. If I could ask her one more question, I would ask her what it was like to go to a family reunion with her 1st cousin Paul “Bear” Bryant. I would ask her what she thinks moved his heart so much that eventually led him to become arguably the greatest college football coach of all time. Knowing my grandmother, she would respond with something like, the bible verse Matthew 6:21 which states,
“for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.”
Or Matthew 12:34,
“from the abundance of the heart,
the mouth speaks.”
The truth about the heart of Bear Bryant from the words of his mouth is that he was “Champion-Minded”. His treasure (money/time), and therefore his heart was in developing young men to achieve their best. His confidence in motivating them to believe that being a CHAMPION was in acting outside of themselves, acting as a team, and believing together, for one common goal.
The point is, and the questions I have for you are simple but yet seem very complex. If the following questions sound like they were geared or directed to, or at you, then please let me, let us, help you discover your confidence, your treasure, and, most importantly, your faith in yourself, your life, and your abilities.
“You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around?
What are they doing to me?
What have they got me reading?
What have they got me saying?
Where do they have me going?
What do they have me thinking?
And most important,
what do they have me becoming?
Then ask yourself the big question:
Is that okay?
Your life does not get better by chance,
it gets better by CHANGE.”
-Jim Rohn
So here are ‘my’ questions for you;
When you woke up today what was your purpose?
Do you spend your hard earned money on food that fattens you?
Do you shop for clothes that make you look ‘lean’ or ‘skinny’ because your treasures are in the things that weigh you down and alter your perception of the truth of ‘who you really are’ ?
Are you are out of shape and depressed?
Do you you hate your job?
Do you perform poorly at your job because you think you’re better than the job you have.
