Def: Heart (ha-art) n.
1. That inextricable quality inherent in all leaders, visionaries, and forward thinkers
2. Substance; extracted by all athletes, of every shape and size. Overcomes obstacles
3. State of mind, quality, necessary ingredient of champions
You don’t need to bring any special equipment, new and improved diet formula, or some magical potion to the gym to get results. You only need to bring a good pair of shoes, some comfortable gym clothes, and heart.
In sports, if an athlete is great they say he’s got talent. If an athlete used to have talent they say he’s a “has been”. If an athlete gives everything he has, when all others have quit, he’s got heart. Heart transcends talent. Heart keeps pushing when talent lags. Heart is there when talent wanes, still driving, after the lights are burned out of the stadium and all of the fans have gone home. Heart lasts when talent hangs up his shiny helmet and is forced to retire. Heart is always with you; for life. Not everyone has talent, not everyone has heart. Some people will never have talent, anyone can have heart.
You can have anything you want, but you’ll get nothing of value until you give your heart.
