Every four years, the summertime becomes a playground for the world to unite in peace in the spirit of competition. The summer Olympics are where stories get passed on in the book of champions from generation to generation. People get to be extraordinary and showcase their gifts for the world to appreciate on the highest of stages. The Olympic games are a springboard for us to get outside and dive into the pool of raw, untouched potential locked away inside us.
Many storylines transpire during the Olympiad games that promote togetherness through various physical activities. History is made with fun and camaraderie for about two months, spanning time zones. While the sun stays up longer in the sky, we stay up longer to watch greatness. While the elite of the elite are representing their country, people worldwide should become eager to go after their medals. Medals in our conditions become a universal sport of greatness and imagination towards personal goals.
Ten thousand hours is the amount of time to master a skill, but sometimes, we only have one moment to put on a beautiful display of an art form through competitive expression. The untapped limits of human potential are where flags stand tall in the name of the best man or woman being victorious. As flags wave high in the air and with each wave of stars, stripes, and symbols, we see the humanity in people we never get to see from our couch. Many colors fill the stadium as decorations of past, present, and future legends who walked the earth.
From the first Olympic games in Greece to currently in Paris and beyond, the hunger for excellence is a cry that humanity shouts to the universe to create an endless loop of positive proactive contests. I can only imagine that track star, swimmer, wrestler, or ball player sitting in the locker room, trying to balance the feelings of excitement and nervousness. To represent one’s own country is to proudly tie the hero’s cape of a nation’s history. The cheers in the stadium create a frequency that manifests honor and glory to fight for something bigger than us.
Whether fifty, one hundred, or five hundred years from now, the fire must always stay lit with the fuel of love for expressing ourselves through sport. Stories of legends should inspire us to push ourselves and others along the way in an intimate, go-getter fashion. When the fire is lit during the ceremony, it’s a beacon of hope for us to find the gems in cultural differences and appreciate them. The Summer Olympics is about having fun and pushing the limits in life with others who want to do the same.
