As a spectacular Olympics for Team GB comes to an end I thought the following tale sums up how those inspired athletes and us too can live the week – and the months – ahead….
Two frogs named Will and Fern fell into a deep pit together. At first, they thought it would be easy to jump out. But after lots of failed attempts they cried for help and a crowd of animals gathered around the pit.
Everyone agreed it was hopeless so they urged Will and Fern to accept their fate. The harder the trapped frogs jumped, the more the crowd yelled at them to give up. Finally, Will stopped trying. Fern refused to quit and with one mighty try she leaped out of the pit.
The crowd was amazed. Someone asked her why she kept trying when everyone told her she had no chance.
Fern was baffled. “What are you saying?” she asked. “I’m a bit deaf. I was sure you were all cheering me on. I couldn’t have done it without your encouragement.”
What a tale! Within you, you know your true power, potential and greatness. Listen to the cheers this week and ignore the jeers. You know it makes sense.
And to help us on our way to the next Olympics and our very own challenges and triumphs, a superb chill out….
