The Lessons of Paralympians

Soon the Paralympics will take place in our beautiful city. Although not as mediatique and popular as the regular Olympics, these games seem to be underrated.
In my mind the Paralympians overcome their physical challenges in the most impressive ways, and they deserve gold medals just for participating to the games. 

I have had the opportunity to talk to an athlete with special needs a while ago, he told me that he never look at his physical disabilities as a life sentence. It seems like the consequences of  his illness were less important than the attitude he used to overcome them.

Practicing a sport competitively as Paralympians to achieve remarkable performances is primarily based on inner strength more than on pure physical skills. In other terms, their body mechanics have been formatted to move according to a specific level of mental conditioning to deliver high level performances. Their clear intention to win defies logic and, surprisingly, being physically impaired seems to have the potential to release the best of the human machine.
There are no real boundaries and we are the ones who set up the standards. Being afraid to go beyond comfort zones creates limited space to explore ourselves and to achieve our dreams and visions .Thinking and acting beyond  fears has the capacity to unleash  potential creativity with no limit.

This is exactly what the Paralympians will demonstrate on March 11th, 2010

I am inviting everyone to watch the Paralympics as a tribute to life itself and its capacity to transform rock in pure gold.

Have an inspiring week end.
