A Champion's Heart

The more fit a person, the faster their heart rate returns to rest and the lower their resting heart rate. The more fit a person the more they can work at their maximum heart rate and still be ok. It will be a challenge, but that's just fine with them.

They have a champion's heart.

That means they can take maximum pressure and come right back down to normal after that pressure. That means they can push themselves like an Olympic athlete and act as though it were no big deal. Business as usual. That's what Olympians and serious/professional athletes train for. That's why they train so hard. They know it will be a time when they will have to exude much force and work to their maximum speed, strength, endurance, stamina, physically, mentally, and emotionally. And if they're going to win the gold, the trophy or the prize they can't sweat and give in under the intense and magnified pressure.

The refuse to lose.

They know how physically, mentally, and emotionally fit they are and they know they have to have a heart of gold and the heart f a champion in order to get to the finish line. They're used to hard work and weathering the storms.

They have heart --the heart of a champion. That's the same heart that a person has for Christ when they refuse to give up. "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!" (Psalm 31:24). It doesn't matter if they are operating at their maximum level, because of the pressure, they will be able to stand the pressure and then their heart rate will go right back to rest. Like the super athlete they have a strong heart at max and a strong heart at rest.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa
