FINDING YOUR INNER OLYMPIAN
hat a month July is. We kick off the summer season with San Diego Pride; with all its heat, fun, sun and frolic and in this spectacular year we get a big dose of the much-anticipated Summer Olympics in London. A few really fortunate in
our circles, will even be there at the games. Competing on a world stage must be an exhilarating, awe-inspiring, lifetime dream achievement the vast majority of us weekend warriors may never experience. What we can draw upon is the determination found in these athletes, to help drive the “inner athlete” within each of us. An Olympian may compete internationally; for us it’s just a smaller venue, yet an even more important stage. It’s our stage of life; it’s the stage upon which we are viewed, work and live. No matter where you may find yourself, whatever stage of life you are in at work, in relation-
ships, at home or at play, everything is more enjoyable when you look and feel your best. There is much science supporting enhanced chemical and physical changes through fitness training, which boosts your ability to compete on the life stage. You know you do it, you compete and you’re a competitor down into your DNA. You hope for the best for you and yours and you are willing to put out effort to achieve it. You want that promotion, the newest car, that next genera- tion computing device, the bigger home, the coolest shades, the hippest clothes and ultimately, the happiest life. The inner Olympian beckons you at every turn, every stage you are at and every day when you wake up. The only difference between you and the Olympian in London, is the competitive field on which you perform and the sacrifice demanded to compete. Down deep somewhere innately, we are driven to compete. It is in our
genes, in our DNA programming to survive and flourish as a species—we have had it in us for millennia. So harness this power and use it to your advantage, to compete at a most fundamental level; how you look, feel and function within your world—your life’s stage. Fitness makes you stronger both mentally and physically and when you have this advantage, you are able to compete at higher levels. You will face that high jump bar and say “yes I can.” More able to attack promotion opportunities, relationships and emotional challenges. Most importantly, we all are competing for time and want more of it. We all
have an expiration date posted out there somewhere in our futures. Fitness is one of the main combatants of most diseases known to mankind. If we are strong, healthy and fortunate, we will have 70 to 80 good years, perhaps longer. You will be more able to stare down or completely avoid that negative doctor report. Developing your “Inner Olympian” to compete for your longev- ity is the biggest gold medal you can win on ANY stage.
Get out of the starting blocks and go for it. It’s “in you” and YOU CAN WIN GOLD.
