Somehow I feel that the Olympics are much more than what we can see, what we can superficially feel and appreciate. I mean, I am sure that most of us in our childhood or adolescence could practice some sport, the one in which our parents enrolled us because they saw in us a certain inclination towards the execution of this particular sport, or simply because we naturally wanted to practice it.
Well, we did very well for some time, we dreamed of being great in the execution of this sporting activity, but, the time came when for different realities and circumstances we could not continue, we started college, or because the costs to move forward rose to such an extent that we could not continue, because the family economic conditions did not allow it, so we focus on what if, studies, and gradually we are leaving aside those sporting dreams.
But it happens that every 4 years the Olympics are held, that meeting of the best athletes in the world in different disciplines and begin to arrive those memories as a child or teenager, reminding us that there was a cycle that did not close well, that was unfinished, and we know it will no longer be possible to materialize it as we saw it in our minds at an early age, yes, I know that can happen with many things that were not given to us when we were very young, and it is a constant fact that being so young we can not consider all the options we have based on our strengths.
In fact, I would dare to say that even as adults the same thing can happen to us, but in other areas of our lives. What I want to emphasize at this point, is that every time the Olympics come around, many of us can remember those particular moments when we dreamed, when we were very young, that at some point in our lives we would be at the Olympics representing our country in that sport that we loved so much and probably still love.
But, I assume that this is something we must learn to live with, as part of personal growth, we should not feel bad about it, we know that we have many possibilities, in other areas, of course, but I always believe it is necessary to be grateful for what we have achieved, although some things we know will no longer be possible.
