Settling in with my tea and cookies to watch the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics, I was saddened by the news of the young man from Georgia who died while training this morning. My heart went out to his family, his friends and all of the athletes. What a sobering wake up call for all of us. We never know when our time will come to an end on this plain of existence.
Because of this, I believe we must work for greatness in our lives not necessarily success. We have to live to love and to develop relationships to promote peace. The Olympics is the prime opportunity for our youth to come together with others across the globe and build friendships that will last a life time.
The Olympics is a time that the world can come together as one, in peace and in harmony. Working together to bring out the best in one another is a perfect expression of love; whether it be an athletic achievement or helping the hungry in our neighbor.
We are all participants in the Olympics of life. Be whom ever you are called to be at the depths of your soul, with passion and vigor and you will spread love, peace and harmony in our world.
