The London 2012 Olympic Games drew to a close last night. The tagline ‘inspire a generation’ was coined in the hope that it would inspire the emerging generation of young people and young athletes. But of course an Olympic Games with its power to bring the nations of the world together in friendly competition has the power to reach across generations. And the extraordinary accomplishments, dedication, adversity, challenges, confidence and mindset required to succeed is a metaphor for what is required to flourish in all walks of life.
Yesterday I decided to soak up the atmosphere and pop by the route of the men’s Marathon -one of the last events – which took place in central London. Here are my two 2 min videos I hope you enjoy them. More importantly I hope you take the opportunity to reflect, celebrate, refocus and look at the areas in life where you wish to excel, progress, pursue your goals and give of you best. Where are you at personally? Are you in your ideal event? Do you have the team necessary to succeed? Are you pushing yourself enough? Do you put in the time and the training? Do you perform 100% Do you have the self belief? Do you take time out to celebrate?
Part 1: inspiration
Part 2: legacy & unity
