The Olympic Opportunity

Today.

American athletes are half way around the world competing in events they have trained for their entire lives.

The Olympics are a time to put down your differences and compete in competitions that gives you the opportunity to be the best in the world.  The best in the WORLD.  These athletes have pushed their mind, their bodies, their families to limits unknown to so many.  The time, commitment, drive, passion, sacrifices, and fierce love of the sport finally has a stage for the next two weeks.  The best in the world will perform.  The athletes will tell their story.  This is their opportunity of a lifetime.  Today for the athletes-Today for me-Everyday we have the opportunity to be great.  To help change a situation.  To become better people.  The time is now.
"Whatever you are, be a good one." - Abraham Lincoln

These competitors- no matter the color of their skin, their beliefs in religion or the country they are from, have an opportunity to be the best at what they do- compete and tell their story.

We all have a story, we all want to compete. What is your story?  "I thought we would live in this home for 5yrs or so.  17yrs later we are building our new home..."

Over the next few weeks we will see a level of motivation that is so very rare.  The Olympics will give a deep meaning to motivation.  What motivates you to be who you are? Take some time and listen to the stories over the next couple weeks.  There will be so many stories from around the world that will tie directly to your life.  Find the link.  Find a way to relate to these stories.  What is the story behind your greatness?  What are you going to do with each day that you are in the game?  Ready for  greatness.

                                                  God Bless the athletes and the USA!
