Be A Winner

It takes five simple things to be a winner!

1) It takes real, unshakable faith.
The only thing Jesus ever got on to the disciples about is lack of faith. All things are possible with God. That’s Kingdom mentality. You must believe in who you are, what you have, and what you can do, period. The day you do believe is the day you are a winner!
2) It takes hard work.
A winner would be crazy to be lazy. I’d like to skirt the issue, but reality won’t let me. We have to be willing to do what it takes to get the job done. God will do everything possible to back us up, but we have to put the hands, feet, and heart into it. The day you get after it is the day you are a winner!
3) It takes commitment.
Quitters don’t win. When I was in high school, I played on the high school golf team. I was playing in a tournament one day, and I was playing horribly. I decided on the seventh hole to call it quits. My dad was in the clubhouse when I walked in from the golf course. He asked, “What are you doing in here. Aren’t you supposed to be playing the tournament?” I told him that I decided to quit. So, he took my clubs and put them in his truck. I wanted to know what he was doing. He said that he was selling my clubs. I told him that I wasn’t through with golf, just that tournament. He said something that I’ll never forget, “When you quit the tournament, you quit golf.” I understand now what he meant. The day you commit is the day you are a winner!
4) It takes sacrifice.
We have to be willing to pay the price to be a winner. Christ won because He was willing to go all the way and give everything. The day you pay the price is the day you are a winner!
5) It takes passion.
If you don’t believe in what you are doing, no one else will. I’ve never known or seen a winning athlete who was not passionate about what she/he did. No drive equals all jive. Passion is putting your heart into it. Passion is that fire in your soul that will not be quenched. The day your heart throbs with passion is the day you are a winner!
