Imagine how successful you could become if you were unstoppable. If you become unstoppable in sports, you’ll be unbeatable. If you become unstoppable in business, you’ll be rich. If you become unstoppable in school, you’ll graduate summa cum laude.
Being “unstoppable” means that no matter what bad things happen to you—you bounce back. You persist. You never give up.
Did you ever tell someone your hopes and dreams and they laughed at you? Maybe when you told them about a future success, they said, “You’ll never do that.” They might have said, “You’ll never graduate” or “You’ll never make the team” or “You’re not good enough.”
When you heard their words you felt humiliated. But deep inside you, there was a little voice that responded. When they said, “You can’t do it” this little voice said, “Watch me!”
The five words that will motivate you to become unstoppable are: “I’m going to show you.”
Story #1. She was a senior in high school and her dream was to become an actor. She auditioned for the senior play hoping to get the lead. She didn’t get any role at all. Then she said, “I’m going to show you.” They’re all watching her now because her name is Sissy Spacek.
Story #2. He was so unpopular in high school that most of the other students didn’t even know who he was. He said, “I’m going to show you.” They’re all listening to him now because his name is Bruce Springsteen.
Story #3. At the graduation ceremony of a small high school in Tennessee, right after the students got their diplomas, they went to the microphone and told the audience their plans for the future. A boy said he was going to work on his dad’s farm. Applause. A girl said that she was going to attend the local community college. Applause. Another girl said that she was going to Nashville to become a country music star. Her parents applauded, but most of the others laughed. Every time she felt like quitting, she remembered that taunting laughter and said, “I’m going to show you.” They’re all applauding her now because her name is Dolly Parton.
THE CHAMPION’S CREED
I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number
of times I succeed. And the number of times I succeed is in
direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying.
