Set For Yourself High Target......A look Into Marion Jones 2000 Olympic Target and perfomance
Welcome to today's motivation by @owoblow-steemit. If you need a word to kick off your day in encouragement, you can alsways drop by at my blog. Today, we are going to take a look at the story of Marion Jones and the record she sets for herself in the 2000 Olympic.
Marion Jones is an American world track and field champion who in the 2000 Olympics set for herself a record of 5 Gold medals. I know you will see that's quite not achievable, but if it wasn't I don't think she would have been bold enough to set thay sort of target for herself.
However, during the course of the olympic, she wasn't able to get her target of 5 gold medals. But guess what?, she got 3 gold medals and 2 bronze medals. Now the important question is **"Did She Fail"?. Of course, she didnt fail. 3 gold medals and 2 bronze medals in a single olympic is quite terrific a perfomance. Wow. truly exceptional of her but however she didn't reach her target and was still celebrated all the same.
Nonetheless, why don't we look at it another way. Imagine she set for herself 1gold medal; What would have been the outcome, she might have still gotten or maybe gotten only bronze right?, oh yea that's true but the target she set for herself made her succeed at the olympics.
When you aim very low in life and achieve it, it doesnt mean you were sucessful. It only probably meant you limited yourself because there is so much more we can be able to accomplish if only we believe and are ready to set to do it. So I want to encourage you today, do not for any reason think you can't do it or think that you can achieve it. Do not limit yourself for any reason whatsoever. I use to tell myself that I am too big for the world to contain. My ideas are explosive and can cause massive vibrations if I let them loose.
You can do much more than you are doing right now. You can perform more in your academics much more than you are doing now. You can love your husbands/wifes much more than you are doing right now, you can help people much more than you are doing right now, you treat your patients well much much more than you are doing right now, you can be more serious with God much more than you are doing right now. Do not limit yourself.

There's a quote that goes like
It is better one aims too high and miss it
Than aiming too low and hitting it!
Often times our fear of the unknown gets the best of us. You can either have fear or have faith!
It is said that no one knows too much to be pessimistic!
Nice motivational article sir!

Indeed it shows that she has conquered herself before she became victor..
Such is the saying "The first and the best victory is to conquer self."
Very true sir
She simply had the winning attitude
I agree. its good to aim high. but you should have a plan in place to achieve your goals, dont just aim high without a game plan or take unnecessary risks.
Very true @earth angel
I actually wanted to add that ypur goals should be SMART but it may somehow contradict the point am trying to drive home
That will be a tip for anorher day
