@Evelyn — Thanks!

@Kelly — Thanks! Earthly pleasures — they can be sooo good (and sometimes sooo bad)! I struggle at times too (like when I walk through the kitchen).

@FitMom — You’ve hit on a great point — we need to first identify where it is that our weakness is — before we can do something about it.

@Davina — That’s a great point, that if have something in each one of these categories that make us feel alive, then we are much more likely to continue improving in that area.

@Barbara — Thanks! And, yes, you’ve won the gold — you’re awesome!!

I love your post. It encapsulates all that goes into making a winner.

P.S. Did I win a gold medal?

@Leanne — Great point, the more balanced we are the stronger we are. We can’t rely on just one of these, they all are important.

@Writer Dad — That’s right, each of us possess it, we just have to find where it is for each of us.

@Mark — Thanks, balance is the key!

@Stacey — it can be exhausting just thinking about it. Especially when we have lots going on in our lives (like you do!). And that makes it even more important. That we determine what is important to us, and how to best use our strength in the Olympics of our life — I like that saying!!

@Chris — Zen to Fitness — Thanks! Sometimes one area will take precedence over another, and that’s ok, as long as we don’t forget about the other areas.

@Bamboo Forest — the Olympic athletes really are a special group of people, especially when you think about what they have been able to accomplish. It is the true definition of Olympic strength.

@Bobbi — We can be so close to accomplishing whatever it is we want to, but because one of these areas “gives up”, we don’t achieve what we had hoped. So close, yet so far. For me, it’s spirit that I think I need the most work on…

@Chris — Tennis, eh? That sounds fun (well, in a non-competitive sort of way)! The mind, and spirit, I think, can really be the difference between good and great. No matter what the strength is. The best athlete is not always the strongest physically…

@Annette — Yes, I think too, that spirit is the hard one. But I also think, that what’s hard for me might be easy for someone else. So, I’d say we’re in the same boat — workin’ on the spirit! These athletes are great inspiration!

@Marelisa — That’s awesome! What a well-deserved medal! Some people train in elite facilities with great coaches to get to the Olympics. Others struggle to get by. One is not necessarily better than the other, but it sure is a feel-good story when you hear of someone like Irving Saladino whose has overcome great odds to become not only a competitor, but the best in the world. That is inspiring!!
