If anyone was inspired by the Olympic Games in London 2012, then they are surely Doubly inspired in the Paralympics London 2012..
What an absolute joy to watch as you see these athletes regime of training come to fruition as they reach to attain new heights of personal achievements as they set the standards ever higher, smashing personal bests times and records, along with breaking new Olympic Records..
As you know I do not watch much TV, but I was so happy that Channel Four here in the UK are devoting over 400hours of airtime. You can view on line here at http://www.channel4.com/ to show how these special individuals who have not only overcome so much in their lives in their various disabilities, but how they have dedicated themselves to become Super human individuals as they put their incredible abilities to work that would put you and I to shame with our Woes and Groans on how life is treating us..
One thing that saddens me is that in some Countries this event isn’t being aired or given the coverage it so deserves.Even our main stream channels haven’t covered the Paralympics as they did the London Olympics 2012.
Many of our Military service men and women having their lives and limbs blown apart serving our Nations, are competing in the 2012 Paralympics..
Those with disabilities are not just born with them, many have lost limbs due to accidents as adults or children, along with War situations.
But these Men women, girls and boys are showing the rest of the world the Power of Now..
They are showing us how to Live in the Moment, as they have set their goals through hard training and focused intention.
I have never been so amazed and what is achievable if one puts their minds to it to overcome their obstacles as they swim, cycle, horse-ride, play basket ball, tennis, table tennis and compete in athletics and more.
Take a moment to look at some of their remarkable achievements.. each one with their own unique story of insurmountable determination in showing the rest of the world how we can over come with TRUE GRIT and determination ever challenge in life..
Be Inspired..
And then Rethink about YOUR Problems you have in life and Put your determination into Overcoming them..
