Don't fool yourself! You can be in your Olympics!!

I may not know who you are, hell, I may have never met you, but I know how you are....yeah, go ahead, read it again. I may have never seen you, spoken with you, thought about you, yet I'm certain that I know how you are. Have I lost my mind? Absolutely not!
You are a person who is good to others (your spouse, kids, extended family, strangers), gives to others, cares about others, and is considerate to others. Am I right so far? YEP. I know how you are!

You are an individual who is hard working, responsible, independent, driven, determined, disciplined, health conscience, and self motivated. Am I right? WRONG. I know how most of you are!

I'll be honest, the last time I watched the Olympics with a hint of interest was in 1984. I was a mere 16 years old, it was held in Los Angeles, my hometown, and I was fascinated by the greatness of the performances displayed by the athletes. I didn't know Greg Louganis, I just knew he was an incredible diver. I didn't know Carl Lewis, I just knew he was an incredible runner. I didn't know Mary Lou Retton, I just knew she was an incredible gymnast! And now, here we are 30 years later and I am finally interested in the games once again. I don't know any of these athletes, but I watch in awe at the performance of the skaters, the skiers, the hockey players....incredible! To be so damn great at their chosen craft is just incredible. But although I don't personally know them, have never met them, have never physically seen them, have never spoken to them, have never thought about them......I am certain I know how they are.
Like you, they are likely good to others, give to others, care about others, and are considerate to others. Unlike most of you, they are always hard working, responsible, independent, driven, determined, disciplined, health conscience, and self motivated! That may be why they are the best in the world, because they thrive to be the best they can be. I don't know who they are, but I know how they are!
We tend to be good to others, but often not to ourselves. We tend to give to others, yet not to ourselves. We tend to care about others, but do not care about ourselves. We are self proclaimed hard workers, responsible, independent, driven, determined, disciplined, health conscience, and self motivated.....but there is definite room to be better. Give it a shot. Get better! I may not know you, but I know what you can be! An Olympic YOU!
