The latest issue of SUCCESS just hit the newsstand! This issue features Lance Armstrong on Winning the Race of Life.

Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine just added a great blog post about this issue.  You can read it here: http://darrenhardy.success.com

Lance Armstrong is a world-famous athlete, seven-time Tour De France winner and cancer survivor. He is an inspiration to anyone who has ever battled the odds. Here’s what he learned along the way.

Know your purpose, and don’t give up. Armstrong eventually saw his cancer as something he was given for the good of others. When faced with obstacles, he wants people to “fight like hell, just like I did.”

Work on your mind. Coming back after cancer, Armstrong had to do more than get his body in shape. “Real healing meant getting my mind in shape. But it also meant getting my confidence and priorities in shape, too.”

See the good in every adverse situation. There was an unforeseen benefit to Armstrong’s cancer. The disease completely reshaped his 6-foot body and left his upper body smaller and leaner, which made him better suited for riding up mountains. Armstrong says he was leaner in body and, eventually, more balanced in spirit.

Stay in lock step with your passion. Armstrong developed a passion for the steep climb on his bike and off. Realizing his entire life was “meant for a long, hard climb,” he has used his newfound insights to dominate his sport.
