Playing to win

No runner when he arrives at the starting line of the race runs to obtain second or third, they always run to win.
No afl coach comes to the game and coaches to lose they all coach to win the game.
Michael Voss, the Brisbane Lions Coach said, "If any coach comes to the game wanting to lose they should not be in the game."

Whenever we want to do something out of the norm, exceptional, something that we haven't done before, fear and doubt is sometimes our closest friend. Often we can lose before we have actually lost. Often we can have the mindset of 'this is impossible' and we validate that by making it impossible. We play to lose instead of playing to win.
To go to the next level in our lives, to grow, to change, to do something that no one has done before we need to play to win, not allow doubt and fear to rob us from the exceptional future God has for us.
We play based on our conviction, the winning faith in our hearts that secures victory.
1 John 5:4: "this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith."

Our winning faith overcomes anything the world can throw at us and secures our victory, makes us winners...
But to be winners, we need to play like winners, play with solid conviction, winning faith that overcomes anything!

Play to win and just wait and see what God can do!
God Bless
