A proverb a day: Proverbs 4:23 – Your heart affects your success.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do.”  Proverbs 4:23 NLT

If you don’t hear anything else I say, remember these words, “guard your heart…” 

All people if they have any kind of sense are seeking to be successful.  Success I know looks different to people and I am not trying to define it for anyone, but what I am encouraging you to do is to protect your heart.

Why protect your heart?  Well because successful outcomes come only by proper inputs.  What you do today will affect your tomorrow.  That is why it is essential that you guard your heart, or shall I say be aware of your motives.  If your motives are pure, you’ll do just fine, but is when you allow your heart to be decieved by the wickedness of this world that you’ll beging to make faulty decisions therefore predicting a devastating outcome.

To be successful, “guard your heart…it affects everything you do.”

Be wise.
