In Denis Waitley “The Winner’s Edge”, “The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner’s edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude”

“The greatest difference my difference maker can make is within me, not others”

Proverbs 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. A fool does not want to listen; he wants to talk. He does not want instruction; he wants expression. He does not want to learn; he wants to teach. A fool does not have great joy or pleasure in understanding, which is obtaining wisdom, truth, and knowledge.

Our mind works like a computer. They only spit out the data they have been fed. Garbage in and garbage out. Leaders are disciplined about what they invest in their mind and heart. Leaders work hard at investing the right material inside them. They also work hard avoiding the wrong material, so that what comes out—is right. As humans, we naturally act on the stuff that fills our minds. We become pre-occupied with thoughts and eventually want to act on those thoughts.

Leaders are often gifted. They can begin to depend on their gift for success, to the neglect of their character. Leaders sabotage themselves when their gift if bigger than they are. We love to see people with God given talent perform or lead light on the outer life. Charisma becomes mammoth. Character becomes minimized. The solution is not to do away with talent. It is to give attention to develop our discipline and personality. Our inwards character is the infrastructure that holds us up through our lives.
