True Olympic Spirit

by Robyn Grady

Where would the world be without competitive spirit? The need to work hard, hone goals and achieve our personal best!

In between finishing my current manuscript, I’ve fit in some Olympic Games and big time squeeing. Australians are winning Gold, including superstar Sally Pearson, taking out the Women’s 100m Hurdles. Simply. Amazing.


Leaves you feeling inspired to purchase those top notch Asics and hit the gym, doesn’t it? Or even just pay more attention to getting fit. Remembering your health. Including a healthy attitude.

I haven’t seen nearly enough of the Games, but what has struck me, perhaps even more than the incredible abilities and tenacity of so many, is the camaraderie between athletes. A sense of sharing in joys and feeling for other athletes' defeat.

The world loves a winner! But our heart goes out to participants who don’t give up and those who support them.

Life lesson: Work hard, try your best, achieve your dreams if you can…but remember your team mates, cheer their successes, help when and where you can. That’s what makes a true champion.

Press play, turn up the volume and prepare to be inspired.
