What Adults are Missing today and how to bring it back..
Yesterday I was on the treadmill at gym when a news story caught my attention.
The story was about welcoming some of the Australian Swimming Team to Perth for the BHP Aquatic Superseries Event, to be held this weekend..
This caught my attention for a few reasons..
FIrstly I recognised it because I am going to that event!! And we can't wait!!
Then all of a sudden, I had this overwhelming wave of emotion..
I looked at those swimmers on the screen..and I knew in my heart what it has taken for them to get to that level of swimming.
The many many years of training..
Of getting out of bed while everyone slept...
The no going out with friends, the strict diets...
And the pain...
The pain of pushing the body to the extreme to keep soldiering on...
Because they have a dream..
Their dream of representing their country..
And as I looked at their faces, I could only imagine what they had gone through to get where they are today..
And how proud they must be of their achievement..
It was the PRIDE that they felt, in themselves, that I could feel watching that story...
It then took me back to my own days of competing in sport - in netball..
I remember so clearly exactly the dedictation I speak about above...
The multiple training sessions per day, everyday..
The strict diet, the no social life and the pain....
It all came back to me...
Not the struggle or the dedication
That was just a natural part of a high achiever..
But THE PRIDE I had in myself...
I remember trialling out for the Brisbane North Representative Team..
For months before I trained and trained and trained..
And the day that the trials were on
There were so many really good netball players...really good...
Now, I was a good player, but back then I never had the confidence I have now..
My coaches always used to say "Kim, if you were just confident you would easily make the State Team.."
I didn't know what confident meant..
So I kept training hard and focusing on my dream..
I used the skills I had to get better and better and better
And I trained and trained and trained..
Today was D Day...
I don't actually remember the trials themselves (I must have gone into automatic pilot mode)
But what I do remember, was standing around as they called out the names..
And my name was called out...
That I had made the team...
At that very moment, that level of pride that someone has for themselves..
It is one of the best feelings anyone can ever have on this planet..
Maybe even more than love..
Because it is complete and utter love for yourself...
PRIDE is a powerful feeling..
Sure it is overwhelming..
But the enormity of this wave of PRIDE
Is one of the most amazing things a human being can feel
About themselves...
It reminds me of Angelique Kerber's win against Serena WIlliams just this week...
Here is the replay of the win...
Those tears, that pride that you see in herself when she wins is the feeling I am sharing with you right now...

And if you watch any Olympian standing on the podium getting the Gold Medal...
Those choking back the tears and emotions...
That is the ultimate in PRIDE right there....
If you have never felt this kind of pride in yourself before...its time...
You don't need to be an Olympian or World Class Athlete to feel this level of PRIDE
You can make a decision to do this TODAY...right now...
Set yourself a DREAM..
Honour yourself to back yourself 150%,
Regardless of how hard it is...
Then go do that thing you want to do..
Live that Dream, use that vision as the passion that drives you
And keep going..
Never forgetting to be proud of yourself along the way...
Of the little achievements that you create in that journey that is your life....
Because that is the key...
To be PROUD of yourself EVERYDAY...
As Adults, we lose that ability to Dream..
To dedicate ourselves to a personal goal
And let everything else come first...
But now its time..
What do you love?
Go do that!
Have a Dream...
Then be so God Damn PROUD of yourself
Not just when you ACHIEVE IT
But for making the decision to LIVE YOUR DREAMS...
Do this right now...
Look in the mirror...
Look into your eyes..
Say "I'm so Proud of You"..
And mean it..
Let the PRIDE come out from your heart, back to you..
Be proud of what you have done, what you are doing and what you want to do...
And feel that pride EVERYDAY..
It keeps the dream alive, it keeps you focused..
Then your chances of achieving that goal, that dream, that vision, will get closer and closer..
Its completly up to you...
