“My running has allowed me to walk in a light, to be in a light, to be in a light that comes from within and it’s carried me to these places that I never thought imaginable… it always felt like my feet never touched the ground, my body just always seems to physically do it with great ease and I felt like I was flying even as a 5 year old kid and that’s where I found true peace and that’s where I felt so completely free and so completely happy. It’s a beautiful feeling” – Cathy Freeman.

Her tips on success are as follows:-

— She put on the wall of her bedroom as a child the words: “I am the world’s greatest athlete”.

–Allowing yourself to be tamed… you have to do what your doctor tells you, your physio tells you: no alcohol, no heels, no standing around for a long time, 8 hours of rest, plenty of water.

–Untamed is being that champion that you see yourself being. Your vision that you are working towards.

— In the mind of a track athlete, the pinnacle is getting a gold medal–the moon rises every 4 years (at the Olympics) the thirst to get a gold medal is unquenchable

–She was determined, all she wanted to do was run. A very relaxed person most of the time, she did switch it on. She had incredible competitiveness.

And Oprah Winfrey has numerous inspiring videos on YouTube. I highly recommend completing a search and checking out her life advice for yourself. Please find a couple of links I’ve referred to for this week’s episode here and here

Oprah provides the following tips:-

She says “who am i?” I am that who is born of all that is. I am a spiritual being having a human  experience.
understand that because I am connected to the source of all that is, all that is possible is possible for me.
And what do I want? and she suggests not to want just success, but to desire to become the highest human expression of yourself.Her tips are –
– You have to have a vision or direction for your life

-Be in the driver’s seat of your life, otherwise life will drive you

-Know who you really are.

-Find a way to serve and the significance you bring to your service is lasting. All the most successful people in the world have that paradigm of service. Use whatever it is you produce to give back to the world.

“Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service” Martin Luther King Jr

-Be excellent. Make the choice to have integrity by doing the right thing and strive for excellence. When you are excellent you become unforgettable. Doing the right thing, even when no one knows you are doing the right thing, because of the law of attraction. For every action there is an equal reaction. do the right thing and the right thing will follow you.

Understand everyone of us has potential for enormous success, but there is a price. People don’t always like you. People who want the best for you, want you to be the best – so surround yourself with people who make your cup runneth over. Surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed.

-The biggest choices begin and end with you. Align with your higher self.
