Defiantly this quote it was a very emotionally attention grabbing and it almost made me tear up tbh...“Every human being is an Olympian in his own heart! Every person strives to do the very best they can with every moment and decision. Everyone confronts the challenges and problems of their own life with the best effort they can put forth. Only a very few ever find a stage or a stadium upon which they can demonstrate the Olympian within themselves. Life and circumstances have not yet allowed the Olympian in each of us to show itself. But still, everyone - young and old, large or small, strong or weak, fast or slow, rich or poor, black, white, red, brown, or yellow- Everyone does the best they can with what life has given them. As you learn to look more closely, as you pay careful attention to the life of each human individual, you can begin to see the Olympian there inside.
