Last night I was watching the winter Olympics — and I started thinking about the incredible ability the athletes have developed to keep focused on their goals – and to accomplish them. Their success is pretty impressive, wouldn’t you agree?
This lead me to thinking about the Law of Cause and Effect. How every cause (hours of dedicated, focused practice) leads to a knowable effect (phenomenal gold medal wining performance)!
Watching the US versus Canada Olympic hockey match reinforced this thought. As I watched 42 saves by the American goalie, I wondered how many goals he had blocked before this match. How many hundreds or thousands of shoots did he block in practice in order to be preform at an almost super human level on this one occasion. He invested the time, he paid the price.
Remember the Law of Cause and Effect during your daily Olympic run. Know that if you pay the price in life, the effect you are seeking will come. The Olympic athlete knows the pain, the sweat, the effort pays off. The Law is inescapable.
Wishing you a larger life,

When I am a little down or not going anywhere. I just remind myself that practice makes prefect. And of course never give up!
Thanks for “the Law of Cause and Effect”.
Oh, by the way, our Canadian team won. Boy, was it ever closed!!
