May 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Toronto, Ontario, Canada  -  It’s only natural for many people to feel down and out during these tough economic times.  With more job losses, continued war casualties and threats of terrorism, it’s no wonder why there is uncertainty or a lack of general motivation in the air.

This is where Clint Cora, a former member of the Canadian national karate team, hopes to contribute.  Cora, now a professional motivational and diversity speaker, knows about motivation as well as adversity as he went from losing a parent to suicide to become a karate world champion.   The universal lessons from this incredible journey are finally captured in his latest book, ‘The Life Champion In You’.  

However, it took a very long time before Cora made the decision to reveal his past life as he says, “It took 24 years for me to finally put in writing as well as speak in public about my family’s tragedy.  But I made the decision to do so because I finally realized that a lot of people could benefit from the life lessons learned through my experiences.  Despite having been at rock bottom, I took steps to become successful as a martial arts competitor as well as a business executive.”

He goes on to add, “I’m nothing special, I just followed a blueprint to success and this same process is available to everyone.  Many folks out there seem lost, not just financially but also emotionally even before the current recession hit.  That’s why I made the decision to finally write this book.  It can help a lot of people with their own lives at every level.”

Being successful in all aspects of life including health, relationships and careers is what Clint Cora refers to as being a ‘life champion’.  Cora’s book has tools to help people create and monitor plans to become life champions.  He also identifies possible complications that may prevent people from achieving success such as procrastination but he provides feasible solutions to counter them.

Shan Dube, a social worker in Vancouver says, "Clint Cora's book, The Life Champion In You, is an example of the resiliency of the human spirit.  Using the tragedies of his life, he demonstrates that anyone can rise above their challenges and create a successful life.  Clint's book stands apart from other motivational books because of its personal and realistic approach.”

This book even has fans overseas as Gianluca Berchicci of London, England writes, “Drawing from his own personal experiences, Clint gives us simple yet powerful insights on how to plan towards the achievement of success in life …  an inspiring read."

‘The Life Champion In You’ (ISBN 978-0-9809190-1-1) is available at Amazon.ca and Chapters.ca as well as directly from Cora’s website at www.clintcora.com where he also has a monthly motivational newsletter.

Clint Cora also presents live versions of ‘The Life Champion In You’ in the form of keynotes as he speaks to corporations, associations, colleges/universities and youth groups.
