I Am A Champion - Mental Health Awareness Retreat

I Am A Champion

This video I am going to share helped not to quit once. I didn't have a support group. I didn't have family members that supported me nor a mental health team because I was so severely mentally ill that I couldn't even leave my house to attend therapy. All I had was inspirational videos to help me make it through at one point in my life while struggling with my mental health illness.

I hope this video helps you to not give up as much as it helped me =]

Of course my mental illness is not a game. Of course not everything in this video applies to me. But here are the key words that helped me to not quit but rather persevere and keep on going:

"Who am I? I Am A Champion!
That's right, and you need to remember....I will conquer what has not been conquered
Defeat will not be my creed
I will believe what others have doubted
I will always endeavor to pull esteem, honor, and respect....
I have trained my mind and my body will follow
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
I will acknowledge the fact that my opponent does not expect me to win
But I will never surrender
Weakness will not be in my heart
I will look to my comrades and to those who are a part of me in this world and those have trained me
and I will draw strength from them
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
I will gladly go out into the field of battle
And I will move in everything I can do....
Because he cannot stop me
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
No one will deny me, no one will define me
And no one will tell me who and what I am and can be
Belief will change my world
It has moved continents, it has moved countries, it has put men on the moon
And it will carry me through this battle
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Defeat, retreat: those are not in my words
I don't understand those definitions
I don't understand when things go wrong
I don't understand mistakes
But I do understand this:
I understand victory,
And I understand never surrendering
No matter how bad things go my heart and my mind will carry my body through limits and weakness
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Today will be that day
Not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here
In your house and in your homes
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
History will remember me
I will not let worrying affect my cause
I will define myself
I will write my own pages
And no one will tell me what I cannot be
I will never give up...
Because who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!
Who am I? I Am A Champion!"
