Going Beyond

Right now the Olympics are going on in Rio. All the participants in the games regardless if they win a medal or not are all champions; they are the best at what they do in their country. The odds of any of them going to the Olympics are quite amazing.

I always enjoy watching the Olympics to see the sports that come around every four years that we can see. It is exciting to see those who get a medal. There is a story behind each athlete even those we never hear about. Each one has been working getting to the Olympics most of their lives. Some of them are there for the second or third time if not more. This shows how focused and determined they are to be the best at what they do.

This is what we should be doing whatever is our job, purpose or destiny to be the very best. We should focus on what will get us to where we need to be. Just like these athletes we all have something to offer to our family, friends, city, country and the world. We are champions in our own right. We may not always feel that way because of the circumstances but this is really true. No matter how long it takes four years or a life time we should be determined to get to where we should be. We may never win a medal but we may win a life which is as good. So whatever your talents or gifts go for it with all that you have with a smile. A lot of people may not take notice however those you do help will be appreciated.
