Football player Lionel Messi has acknowledged that his talent and success are a result from God.
The 37-year-old football offered his thoughts on the beginnings of his extraordinary talent.
“It’s very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me.” he told podcaster Juan Pablo Varsky
“I was always different. People came to watch me. I didn’t realize it, but I only began to understand that as I grew older.
“Of course, I tried to take advantage of it [talent], I tried to squeeze the most out of it, but the truth is, I did nothing to become the player that I already was when I was little.”
Yes, Leo’s got a gift—one in a billion, no doubt. But he’s not giving himself enough credit because he worked just as hard as any other footballer to become what he is today—the best player in the world.
Everything good comes from God. Every perfect gift is from Him.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
