In Search of a Champion

“Liz says, “I’m sick of people telling me that I need a man.” To which Felipe replies, “You don’t need a man, Liz. You need a champion.” ” ~ Eat Pray Love

Yes. That.

We ALL need this…men and women. I need this.

I found this photo hysterical. Women…if we need a billboard, then we probably are in deeper trouble than we think…:)

I have had great love in my life. In some ways, I have been the luckiest girl in the world. Blessed, actually. I hope I have great love again…just something more along the champion, happily ever after side would be lovely…

I don’t simply want this in my love life. I want this in all my relationships. I want to be (and have) champions in my friendships, my work, my church, my community. A little more let me take the bullet for you, and a little less how many bullets will it take to take you down?!

To be a champion for others is a lot about bravery. Am I willing to take the bullet for them even though I am not sure I agree with them 100% on everything…oh and I think they might be nuts? Is someone willing to take the bullet for you…even though…

I am starting to see life as more of an act of bravery and less whatever selfish endeavor I am off on at any given time. Am I championing others? Truly? I am asking myself tough questions like these daily now…if not hourly. What is my life’s legacy?

I think it starts by taking care of others…defending others…building up others…even when it is possibly painful or even a little risky for us.

I am looking for a champion. I am looking to be one too.

Sunshine Dreams to You ~ Today and Every Day! 🙂
