Self-discipline Champions recognize these beliefs as fundamental truths, not just social or religious obligations. 3. A sense of responsibility. This responsibility is a product of deeming oneself as a valuable addition to the web of humanity. Champions realize (and wholeheartedly believe) that the universe does not favor the dishonest or the vicious, even when, on the mere surface, it may sometimes appear to do so. 4. Knowing that the resolution to conflict is rooted in respect and a deep sense of empathy. An ability to recognize that conflict is bound to happen between humans is a key feature of this quality. Champions understand that there's always room for others' well-being, even in the midst of seeking self-fulfilling ambitions. Resolution comes from spirited dialogue, and is rooted in listening, 5. Unwavering concentration on the goal at hand. Champions realize that there's a time and place for diversion and amusements, but they never allow them to override their true purpose. Getting distracted by trifles is easy, but the path of least resistance is seldom the most fruitful. 6. Disregard for what doesn't concern them. Put simply, they don't waste time worrying about what people think of them. They stick with their true self, refraining from trying to win over the superficial approval and admiration of others. In reality, they don't long for others to see them as sophisticated, unique or wise. They remain steadfast in their avoidance of self-indulgence. 7. A point-of-view. Champions aren't afraid to take a stand. After internal contemplation to determine the best course of action, champions don't discredit their decisions. They trust their intuition and, more importantly, their morality. Despite setbacks, they continue to stand squarely behind their actions, knowing that there will always be those who misunderstand their intentions and even condemn them. The world is made beautiful thanks to these outstanding individuals - true champions who have elegantly conquered doubt and fear. Champions are driven by a creative impulse to fulfill missions of personal improvement and human advancement. These dreamers are the makers of our world.
