"Greatness"

I've been watching the Olympics for the past week, as I'm sure many of you have. I'm impressed by the athlete's dedication, commitment, and skill, but also, their teamwork and support of their families and friends. It seems as if each one of them has a contingent of people who love and care about them, regardless of the result. Wouldn't it be great if we all had this unending, relatively unconditional support for us in our endeavors. Wouldn't life be a little easier if there were people cheering for us? Or, maybe like the world-class athlete, we need to muster up our courage, motivation, and drive from within ourselves. An important lesson--although it's nice to have others acknowlege our "greatness," it's more important that we acknowledge it ourselves. Have a week of "greatness."
