We've been glued to the screen for a few days now, at least when we can. The thousands competing in London for Olympic gold captivate our spirit.
There is something noble about the human body, the human person, straining with everything reach new records and conquer new heights for self and country. We would all like to stand tall on the platform, where that medal, watch the flag, and hear our anthem.
But only a select few make it to the Olympics and even less leave with gold. What makes the difference? Why do some end in tears, others in exultation?
For the next couple of days, I hope to write about what drives Olympic athletes and so many others to achieve true excellence.
What do you think? What is true success? How can it be achieved?
you should have heard how gracious Katie Taylor was when she won Gold in women's boxing and how she thanked God for His graces....inspiring
