Last night, as I got home from celebrating my friends wedding, I decided to check in with Rio and see what was happening at the Olympics. What I hadn't anticipated was turning on the TV to see Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford competing.
As I sat up in bed cheering them all on and feeling completely inspired by their efforts, it was Mo Farah that really made an impact as I watched him become a 3rd time Olympic gold champion in the 10,000m.
Seeing his race plan unfold, I had everything crossed that he would win...that was until he stumbled. In that moment I felt my heart drop to the pit of my stomach so I can only image what must have been going through his mind. Then something extraordinary happened. Despite the fall, we witnessed him pick himself back up, continue the race and push himself to not only continue, but also win it!
If ever there was a time to feel inspired, it's now. Mo proved that even at a most crucial point in your life, mishaps can still happen, but it really is about picking yourself up and using all the strength you have to push yourself to that end goal.
So, for anyone out there thinking they're not good enough, can't succeed or are worrying about taking a risk; don't because the race really can be won!
