As my husband can attest, my couch sitting attention span is just shy of 2.2 seconds. For whatever reason, the moment I start to relax, my task list lengthens. Yesterday, however, was an oddity. I sat for about an hour to watch various Winter Olympic Events and never once thought about the dishes in the sink or the garbage that needed to be collected.
Shocking even myself that I could remain motionless for that amount of time, I could not help but watch intently as each athlete perfectly performed their sport of choice. I kept thinking about how long these individuals train in comparison to their seconds in the spotlight. With that training / competing ratio in mind, what would motivate an individual to work that hard?!
My question was answered after reading these inspirational quotes delivered by Olympic Athletes, both past and present. Not only do the words motivate Olympians, but much can also be learned as it relates to determination, drive and the will to succeed!
