What better time to wish you were an Olympian athlete than during the Olympics, right? Watching the athletes perform is motivation for many to get moving, eat healthier, and start that healthy lifestyle one more time. Undoubtedly, there’s a lot of “wishing” going on during these few short weeks of watching impressive athletes pour their bodies and souls into doing the absolute best they can do, but it was a long path for them to get where they are.
We expect that one week of healthy eating or exercising will be the fix that gets us back on track, helps us get fit, or lose weight. However, it’s a lifestyle change that is required to turn us from mere mortals into flashes of life that we portray to our families, friends, co-workers…the world needs brilliant flashes of life. The world needs something that stands out and shines brighter than the crumbling society around us.
Don’t think of it as a chance to have a brief moment in time where you were all that you knew you could be. Think of it as a chance to live up to what you were created to be. Turn your fantasy into reality.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. ~ Psalm 139:14
