The Winter Olympics are coming in February; a chance to for all of us to see the grace and beauty of the skaters, skiers and snow boarders. I remember leaving my ankles taped after track practice on Fridays so when I went skiing on Saturday I’d have more support and could turn faster. No matter how fast I got, there was always someone much faster. So I’d try harder and crash. When I’d think about crashing while still in the starting gate, I knew I wouldn’t be fast that day.
Competition is about finding your own limits and trying to reach higher. When you realize you don’t want to put in as much work as someone else or you see someone who just has more talent, you’ve reached your limit. Then it is time to decide if you can settle for not being the best or look for something different. We are all better at something than someone else and also will never be as good as somebody in a different situation. We should never stop trying to find our limits and always push forward. There’ll be plenty of time in the future to talk about how good I once was. Next year I’m going to be a better speller…
