#MEMO to all #Rio2016 #nationalgymnasticsday dancers, athletes, artists #NVMLindseyAllan

No offense meant. Please pass this at once to all your co-dancers, athletes and artists, and tell them, to do so pass this too and tag everybody with them, until everybody of you reach this. You need to know this. You are in Brazil for a really good reason- to know the biggest discovery anyone like you would know joining the Olympics. You are meant to know this and this took 4 years for you to know. Forget about what you thought you want to be when you reached Brazil. Forget all that the sports writers and flattering speeches would like you to be. You won't hear this from them. Somebody sent you what we would like to offer you as we can afford as nothing but sincere and encouraging words as you embark on your Rio adventure. Well, here it goes.

A couple of thousand years ago, there were young people like you, on the same plight as you are now as you tread this. They saw you from afar. These brethren of yours trailblazed for you the path of duty, honor and sacrifice, when they risked their lives to be burnt alive in exchange for not bowing down before a golden statue. Centuries after them, your countless ancestors took that same burning, shining narrow path less taken, when they exchanged worship of golden calves for a burning stake. They likewise did this for you, hoping that when the time comes for you to be in the crossroads like they were way back then, you would make the right choice the way they did.

Today, you have the ball now whether you'll take the more better path of glory rather then the smooth, easy bridge of fleeting, flattering priestige. God will be with you, God stride with you. Remember that your faith burns batter than gold when it is refined at the fire that we, your Commondominion of Christ had embraced fully to our death throughout the ages.

We are your moths. We saw you, dancers, athletes and artists all, in our shoes, when we approached those fires at the crucible. And we loved dying locked in your burning passion, in your burning embrace. Oh what a lovely, more honorable, more better and greater way to die. You'll not be here If not for those who took the risk for you. The next generation of dancers, athletes and artists are now looking up to you to take the right step at all cost. It is a far more better honor to be different, and that brave enough. Dare to be gold that gold. Thank yuo very much.
