What Gold Medal Are You After?
The Summer Olympics start in a few
days. I love to see people who've trained so hard, who
are pursuing their dream with intense dedication, effort
and vision. It always inspires me to reach higher in
some area of my life.
What "gold medal" are you after in your life? It doesn't
have to be a gold medal in anyone else's mind. What
matters is how you see it, how you
perceive it, how you feel about it. When you imagine
tasting the thrill of victory, what victory are you
picturing?
It might be a physical accomplishment, like starting to
bicycle again and riding 10 miles. Or maybe it's a
mental gold medal you're after, such as reading one book
a month in your profession for a year. If it's an
emotional gold medal, it could sound like you saying "I
love you" to the people in your life on a daily basis.
Perhaps you're after a spiritual "gold medal" where you
complete 6 months of daily prayer or meditation
practice.
Whether you reach your goal and get your "gold medal" or
not, you are guaranteed to have become a bigger, better
human being in the effort. In the Olympics, even the
ones who come in LAST are winners, in the sense that
they have without a doubt become more than they ever
dreamed possible. Winning a silver medal, a bronze
medal or even simply being on the team are all
achievements to be proud of. So get "on the team" and go
for your gold.
