I heard it first from my mother, then from my teachers, then from my coaches, and now from TV nutritionists. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” A variation has been “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.” Apparently, loading our bodies up with good food each morning gives us an edge toward health, fitness and peak performance all day long. We act better, feel better and think better. We are better.
A CHAMP’s “breakfast” includes a generous portion of positive thoughts. We are thankful for each day’s opportunities-opportunities to live, earn, love, help, influence, learn and so much more. We are hopeful-always looking for answers, solutions, improving relationships, the good in others and a better way of doing things. We are faithful-seeing new ways to fully engage our task, our friends and families, ourselves, and our world.
A thankful, hopeful and faithful focus can provide the “food for thought” that begins our days.
