The Importance of the Heart
When an athlete steps onto the field to compete, their number 1 goal is to win. Athletes sacrifice, give it their all, and undergo rigorous training and rehabilitation to achieve victory. The outcome of the game, race, or match determines success and failure.
Millions of people participate in sports each year. It is an area of passion and where they find fulfillment. Yet not everyone can reach the very top of their sport. Only one athlete or team wins the championship. We must ask, “What is the difference between good athletes or teams and those that become champions?”
The answer is simple: every championship athlete and team possesses “The Winning Heart.” A Winning Heart has seven winning expressions: trust, attitude, words, thoughts, passion, treasure, and victory. Yes, it is YOUR HEART that makes you a winner, not your talent. Understand this: your talent gives you opportunities, but your heart brings victory. A Winning Heart grounds you in something more than your talent. It recognizes the need to possess excellent character.
Solomon, whom many consider the wisest man ever to live, says in Proverbs 4:23 –
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Your heart determines the direction of your life. Every action, word, attitude, etc., comes from your heart. Solomon says, “above all else,” which means that protecting your heart is the most important out of all the things you can do. People who understand this and possess “The Winning Heart” succeed in every aspect of life.
