Be That Person

What can we learn from the Olympics about chasing and realizing dreams?

Over the previous two-ish weeks, I found myself captivated by this once-every-four-year sporting event spectacular.

I marvel at the speed, power, precision, and creativity that the athletes display.

Stories abound about these athletes from all parts of the world who wait four years for their chance.

They all have the dream to compete against the world's best.

They train and train and train some more.

They do what they need to do in order to be the Olympian of their dreams.

I am no Olympian. I do have dreams. I dream of being a great husband and father, of being a great colleague and friend, of helping others grow. I dream of being someone who makes a difference in our world.

Who do you want to be? What is your dream?

The blessing of our human condition is that we get to decide. You get to decide.

You get to decide who you want to become.

Like the Olympians pursuing their dreams, we must also take action to realize our dreams. We must take small steps.

Who will you be?

What is it that you need to do in order to be that person?

Make that choice.

Create your life.
