" Do what you love." I've heard more than two Olympians say this throughout the various athlete interviews during these Olympic games. Usually this statement comes after they have described the events in their lives which almost made them give up on their sport. Someone, however, encouraged them to keep doing the thing that they love. 

I have seen many obstacles pop up these last few weeks. I have stumbled on some and seen colleagues that I greatly admire struggle as well. We all need to help each other get back up and see where we are. Are we doing what we love? If so, we can push through the barriers and keep doing the thing that we feel that we were meant to do. Will we earn the gold? Maybe, maybe not but we can enjoy the journey!
