It’s not a strong body that sustains you, although you need one.
It’s not even a strong mind that keeps you swinging in the fight with life, although mental toughness is vital.
What sustains you is your heart—not the organ beating in your chest, but something much deeper and more controlling than your thoughts.
Your heart is the center of your personality. It fuels the characteristics that make up who you are.
Whether you’re angry, joyful, frustrated, or shy, your heart energizes every manifestation of your personality.
Even when your body is exhausted, injured, or ill, a strong heart will keep you thriving.
Even when your mind cannot make sense of your circumstances, your heart will keep you moving forward because you believe perseverance will eventually bring clarity.
Your heart is where your vision resides. It’s where you truly believe for what you’ve always wanted.
It is also the sacred place people try to defile with criticism and negativity.
That’s why your heart must have reinforced defenses. Try these…
1️⃣ Destroy every negative thought as soon as it appears, because when it first arrives, it’s weakest. Allow it to dwell, and it will seep into your heart, reinforcing the very areas you most desire to change.
2️⃣ Examine every critical word spoken to you within 24 hours. Write it down so you can see it objectively. Then write a response that refutes it. Don’t send it. The exercise is for your benefit alone.
3️⃣ Check what comes out of your own mouth. Endless negativity only strengthens destructive beliefs. What you continually say reinforces what you believe.
Sometimes it feels like the world is conspiring to poison your heart—the center of your vision and personal power. In reality, it’s just life. That’s why you must stand guard over the treasure within. Metal up! 👊🏻💀🤘🏻
