Olympics and You
Submitted by David Weaver on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 6:34am
The Olympics have always been one of my favorite times of the year. Athletes who have dedicated themselves to their crafts get a chance to show what all of the hard work was for. It really is incredible to watch. While not everyone is going to win a medal, the athletes know they've brought the best from their country and they lay it all out on the line. I'm willing to bet that most of these people are just thrilled to be there. Yes, they'd love to bring home a medal, but if they don't, have they failed? I would argue that most would say it was absolutely worth it just to get to this point. They would say that the journey has helped shape them into the person they are today. Plus, there's always a chance for next time, right?!
How are you doing on your journey? Are you moving forward?
