Swim Finals
When I go out and race, I’m not trying to beat my opponents, I’m trying to beat what I have done … to beat myself, basically. People find that hard to believe because we’ve had such a bias to always strive to win things. If you win something and you haven’t put everything into it, you haven’t actually achieved anything at all. When you’ve had to work hard for something and you’ve got the best you can out of yourself on that given day, that’s where you get satisfaction from. People ask me’what was going through your mind in the race?’ and I don’t know. I try and …let my body do what it knows. I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me think about them.
You can’t change the past. But you can ruin the present, if you keep worrying about the future.
To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.
I trusted you as a friend but all I got is a cold shoulder after being honest with my decision. If you’re hurt then what am I feeling?
The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.
When I do something very generous, I know for a fact people will not return the favor.
