It's the next big thing in Singapore now. We are hosting the Youth Olympics 2010! A great boost to our ego. Such a big event in such a small nation. One of the events that really grabs my attention is the gymnastics. I always enjoy watching the athletes move with such grace and precision. Just a slight off balance and the whole performance is affected. Not to mention all the guys' built, the dream of every or most men.
Watching the events got me thinking again about life as a whole. I do not dare to imagine how many hours a day are invested into practice for these youths. All to lead up to this one event every few years. "Being the best that you can be" keeps ringing in my head as I watch them do their thing. What can I do each day to become the best that I can be in any and every area of my life? What do I need to give? Can I start anew with my life? What if I have wasted a large portion of it? These are the questions that linger even as I plan for the rest of my life.
I like the portion of Philippians when Paul states: "Forgetting what lies behind......". I so need to internalise it now. "Reaching forward to what lies ahead......". I know that God really wants me to move on. I really need to move on. Jesus, help!
