The Olympics Are Over; What Now?

It's hard to believe that the Olympics are already over. It seems as though the opening ceremonies were just yesterday. The national flags from countries all over the world flying high, with athletes walking right behind.

Now, the games are over. Medals have been won. Controversy has been had, heartbreak has been dished out to many who competed. The beauty of the games is unmatched. It's a shame that they only come around every four years. Perhaps that's what draws such intrigue, and what makes them so coveted.

So now, that we wont be seeing world records being broken or the plastered all over our TVs (as much), what happens now? What will the U.S people be enthralled with next? What will capture our attention just as the XXX Olympiad did for 2 weeks?

Luckily for us, we live in a nation that is obsessed with giving us something to obsess over. Baseball season is in full swing, the NFL is right around the corner, and if youre like me, you're also excited to watch soccer whenever televised this side of the pond.

So, whatever it is you find to do to fill the void that the Olympic Games has left, make it something fun and inspirational. The games have hopefully awakened the part in you that says: "yes, I can."

Go out and do something. We are blessed to live in such a glorious place, why not make the best of it.

Be inspired by something! Go out and find that thing that will excite you just as rooting for your fellow countrymen and women did for the past 17 days.
