Value is sacrifice demanding.

Creating rewards demands sacrifice.

Actions today echo into the possibilities of the future.

When untangling situations that are unpleasant and disheartening, we don't need people who are all talk. We need those who are honest and truthful in their actions.

Times values are often unnoticed until the end draws near.

Most don't understand that creating something requires improvement and learning, which means an individual can make mistakes now and then. The creative intellectual journey is tricky because once someone is obsessed with their work, they embody it when they are at the frontier of their exploration. But that doesn't mean it is the end-all-be-all of their beliefs or ideas.

One of the greatest treasures is knowledge (Knowledge, at least as I define it, is the capacity to understand information that can flourish one’s life. Along with it comes the wisdom to guide it and the willpower to materialize the information to enhance one’s life and everything around it.)

Humans need rewards and recognition to keep their bodies and spirits intact. That's understandable and justified. However, actions that are solely motivated by rewards can falter by disappointments, mistakes, and competition.

“How much discipline? In January 2012, I beat Nadal in the finals of the Australian Open. The match lasted five hours and fifty-three minutes—the longest match in Australian Open history, and the longest Grand Slam singles final in the Open Era. Many commentators have called that match the single greatest tennis match of all time. After I won, I sat in the locker room in Melbourne. I wanted one thing: to taste chocolate. I hadn’t tasted it since the summer of 2010. Miljan brought me a candy bar. I broke off one square—one tiny square—and popped it into my mouth, let it melt on my tongue. That was all I would allow myself. That is what it has taken to get to number one.”

There's something humans do, watch, and agree upon to celebrate something outside the confines of self-labeled interests and ideologies.

Runners and swimmers who win gold by milliseconds, a tennis player who sacrifices their bodies to exceed physical limits for a single point, a gymnast who must surpass their best practice records to set new ones to claim gold, the team plays where one mistaken pass in means defeat, and life-threatening movements or plays to shatter world records.

These feats are a testament to the human spirit, which is why we are on the edge of our seats during close matches.
The rankings represent a collective agreement that certain athletes undeniably deserve their gold medals and prizes without questions of inequality.

Outside the Olympics, the world offers a variety of opportunities suited to our innate gifts and abilities. The rewards might not be a gold medal, but it can be a great job, a successful brand, or a role as a consultant or artist in your niche.

The Olympics is a reminder that it is achievable given enough investment of heart and soul for at least a decade to a craft and their awe-inspiring acts show that if we invest enough patience, commitment, effort, and time, we can have our piece of cake, and eat it too.
