Super Bowl Champion: The quiet strength of Coach Tony Dungy

Do you want to know how to become a winner? Do you want to live the life of a champion? A great book XELR8 President Doug Ridley shared with us is, "Quiet Strength" by former NFL coach and player Tony Dungy. This book is not only inspirational, but also a philosophy on life which helps you better understand exactly what it takes to live like a winner and become a true champion on the field of LIFE.



Tony Dungy played professional football and coached in the NFL. He was the first African-American head coach to win the Super Bowl when he led his Indianapolis Colts to victory over the Chicago Bears on February 4, 2007. Think about what it takes to win the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is a zero sum game, there is only one team that will come out victorious and with highly coveted Super Bowl rings. The other team walks away with a defeat and the experience. They can then choose to learn from the defeat and strive harder for success, or dwell in it. The great thing about Network Marketing is that it's not a zero sum game, everyone has the opportunity to be victorious.



Here are a few key passages from this inspiring book:



"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;

Perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not destroyed.

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,

so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake,

so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body."


   2 Corinthians 4:8-11



Do you carry around with you the understanding that hope and eternal life are within you? Do you know that incredible strength is within you? If you understand this, then you already have the heart of a champion.



So what does it take to win? It starts with a vision:



"The first step toward creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it. VISION will ignite the fire of passion that fuels our commitment to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to achieve excellence. Only VISION allows us to transform dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through human action. VISION has no boundaries and knows no limits. Our VISION is what we become in life."

   Tony Dungy, "Quiet Strength" pgs. 124-125



What is YOUR vision? What do you want to create? You can choose to make a difference today. 2009 is YOUR year. You don't have to go down the same road everyone else is going down, you don’t have to get sucked into Constant Negative News, you can choose your own road, and blaze an exciting new trail -- a path guided by hope, lit by faith and leading toward a bright future!
