?????????????

So this post is going to be a little weird but I am just writing what is on my mind. So today I was watching the Olympics this afternoon and they were doing a spotlight on one of the athletes I have absolutely enjoyed following this time around. It was quite an eye opener as most of us usually hate when people ask questions of our honest mothers, but it was an amazing interview they did with her. When we all watch the Olympics or someone who is just absolutely amazing we never think of what that person may have overcome to get where they are. But on to my point. This awesome guy was not considered to be the best of kids in fact his mom was told when he was in kindergarten that he wasn't a "gifted child". He was diagnosed with ADHD as a young child and as most he was brushed off as a problem child. Later in life he was picked on cause he has big ears and was slightly larger then the rest of the kids his age this guy is 6 ft 3 and wears a size 14 shoe. But as we see today if we focus on what we want and make lemonade out of lemons look where we could be. It is amazing what people can do and become when they put their mind to it. I know kind of strange coming from me but that was a big eye opener for me. Can you imagine going from being the "loser" or "ungifted child" to being tied with the most winningist of gold medals with the possibility of surpassing him. I decided it has to be about heart.
