My entire life equilibrium has been thrown off simply because the Olympics is on from 7am until Midnight everyday. Here I am with all this to do everyday, and then that 8pm-12 session comes on && I’m hooked for 4 hours and my whole night is shot.
2012, contrast to 2008, I have been watching every sport- literally everything they televise I’ve seen. Water polo. equestrian. white water kayak, archery, judo, boxing, handball, etc
There are a couple of character traits that I see in all athletes from every country which needs to be talked about: Determination and Perseverance. These people are hard frickin workers. There’s something that is constantly restoring my faith to work hard now when trying to set a strong foundation for the Tenth Muse. It could be a sermon at church, a talk with my best friend, a news story or motivational speech- something weekly that keep me working at it. But this year I’m saying my main source of inspiration is the Olympics. I say to myself-whoa! these are the top and most elite athletes in the world. They’ve worked extremely hard day in & day out. This has been a journey with several obstacles to surmount. I don’t think I’ve heard a story about an athlete with a perfect, easy trip to London. There were losses and the pain of the agony of defeat. But the athletes came back. They handled the pain & hurt to keep training. Did they give up? Maybe for a week or month, but they physically and mentally took it to the next level.
