Diana Golden did not let disability steal her dream

We're visiting our daughter in Avon, CO where she is working for the ski season. Yesterday, we visited the Ski Museum in Vail which is certainly worth the time. In the Disabled Skier Hall of Fame, I read a great quote by Diana Golden who is a member. Before I give you her quote, let me tell you that she lost a leg to cancer at age 12. She won gold in the 1988 Olympics Games in Calgary in the Disabled Womens Grand Slalom. She thrilled audiences for a good number of years speeding 65 mph down the slopes. She won 10 world championship golds and 19 national championship golds. Today she is a full-time speaker and writer. Here is her quote which, I believe can apply to our business as well.

"Greatness is not a gift. Excellence is learned. It takes a combintion of determination, training, commitment, sweat, stubborness and pride to get you where you want to go. Success in sports is like everything else worth having in life--you've got to work for it. If you want to be great at soemthing, you have to set a visin for yourself; you have to believe in it; you have to want it and then you have to pursue it with everyone ounce of passion that your heart and soul can muster."

Vision is of the heart and soul. Never forget it! And go like crazy! Best to you!
