I LOVE IT!

I Can Do It

These athletes inspired me this week. 

I am motivated because if they could do something great for themselves, their team mates, 

their country (and God), 

then I can do it too!

I might not be an Olympian, 

but I could do something good for my body.

I could be an inspiration to/for myself, my family, my friends or strangers :)

Congratulations Michael Phelps.

The American swimmer became "The Most Decorated Olympian" on day four after winning his 19th medal with gold in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay.

I love his dedication, determination, the way he swims just amazed me.

Well Michael, all of those hard work paid off. He had his down moments in life, but he get back up!

I am very happy for him to reach his goals and more in life. It is a great accomplishment and I wish him the best!

Congratulations Gabby Douglas

She is the first African-American woman and first woman of color to win the event. She is also the first American gymnast ever to win both the team and individual all-around gold at the same Olympics.

I love this girl! 

She is very humble, beautiful, down to earth and such a strong woman; physically, mentally and spiritually. 

I admire her hard work (and her family's sacrifices as well), 

I especially admired her faith and humility before God! 

A young and bright woman who won gold, a history maker, did the best she could to win, yet she never forget to thank God, unashamed and joyfully serving her creator! 

Bravo Gabby!

Djibo Issaka

He is a 35-year-old from Niger, only learnt how to row three months ago 

but was given a wildcard to the London Olympics "to strengthen the principle of universal representation."

This man did not finish first, in fact he finished last. But he finished what he started and he did the best he could. 

He finished his race strong. 

Sometimes winning is not the biggest word of the day, but trying is the word of the day.

The problem with people these days is that we wanted to make everything instant and perfect. 

We want to win, which is a great goal, but many times, we did not win what we want. 

What are you gonna do? Quit? Blame yourself or others? Hating your life? 

OR

You could keep trying, training, find new strategy, and loving life!

What I learned from these three athletes this week:

Faith, Determination, Hard Work and Finish Strong!
