You stand in the corner of the floor. Eyes focused down the line, vision blurred as you gather your thoughts. Sweat dripping from your nose, legs trembling and burning, arms heavy as if weighed down to the ground. Noise in the background begins to fade, how many attempts has it been? 10? 15? 20? youve lost count. The sound of your heart beat mixing in with your slow deep breathing. You can hear faintly still the sounds of a full gym surrounding you, cheering, looking onward as you ready yourself once more. Hands resting upon your knees while your body recovers from the last failed attempt. An image fills your mind as you close your eyes, its close. You can see it, smell it, now feel the landing this time, be ready. Standing slowly, lifting your head as you narrow your vision feeling your muscles tensing up as you begin to move. Energy rushing through you, exploding through your quads, down your calves and through the balls of your feet seeming to explode forward. Finally you fly off the ground as if gravity never existed, arms lifting pulling you into the air for what seems like an eternity. The sound of your heart still filling your eardrums. This moment, this split second between the take off, and the landing, this is where you exist. Everything you are, everything you want to be is here. The crowd rising to their feet cheering loudly, echoing through the gym. you plant your feet on the ground and just for one instant you stop before celebration. The realization of weeks, even months of training, has finally revealed itself. Time rushes back in near fast forward, your hands gripping the back of your head as you let out a yell to the heavens. Every muscle in your body energized, every thought in your mind accomplished. The crowd rushes you instantly sharing your energy, basking in your achievement together. As you gaze upon your peers, cheering, feeling indestructible you notice the wide-eyed excitement in everyone around you. One more emotion, pride. Not just in yourself for landing, but now you see, youve left something contagious. Planted a seed. Left a mark on the others. You have inspired. Inspire as you have been inspired and always strive to reach New Heights. Cant wait for you all to inspire me in a few weeks.
