Finding the Next Gear...


Usain Bolt put on a world record performance at the Olympics and a performance that really inspired me. In the 100m, he won convincingly easily and dominated the competition. The 100m was an event that Bolt had to beg his coach to compete in and was not considered his strongest event. In the race, Bolt started out rather evenly and after about the first 30 or 40 meters, Bolt seemed to find his next gear and to quickly accelerate way past the competition.

Recently, I have been looking for my next gear and the meaning and motivation to create that next gear. In order to have that next gear, it takes hard work, dedication and an undenialable will to be better than everyone else and to better yourself. No one knows the countless hours and dedication, time and circumstances Bolt went through to prove to himself and to train to become one of the most dominate sprinters in history. Bolt is a history maker no one expected and its all do to his hard work and the ability to create that next gear that no one else was able to obtain. I think everyone can create that gear for themselves to be the best that can be and to stand out from those around them. I am ready to create that next gear for myself and have found the meaning that leads to the motivation to find that next gear.
