How I define the heart of a champion – a person that does not fade at the appearance of impossibility, a person that refuses to get stuck in the mistakes and losses. We have all dropped the ball. We have all experienced deep heartache. And this is what makes us all equal. The imperfection of our lives level the playing field.
So then you wonder about those that rise above, what is it? The way you rise above the playing field:
1. Forgiveness. This breaks any hold anyone or anything has over you. Forgive others, forgive yourself.
2. Never ever run in fear. Fear cannot be the leading factor of any decision. This isn’t to say to be fearless, I believe fear is always present, just don’t let fear override your passion.
3. We win by not quitting. No matter how many bad things we do, how many mistakes we make, all it takes is 1 right decision now to rewrite everything. Rewrite you by making the nearest right decision and let that take you down a new path.
Here’s the most beautiful thing about a champions heart, although it may not be natural to many, all can acquire it. “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead”
