It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete.
Self-worth comes from one thing -- thinking that you are worthy.
One must be truthful with oneself about one's own motives, especially if one is to survive in the world. It takes rigor, and it takes courage.
Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.
If your self-worth is based on anything other than your relationship with Christ, you are in big trouble.
A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $12, made into needles its worth is $3500, made into balance springs for watches, its worth is $300, 000. Your own value is determined also by what you are able to make of yourself.
