A text dedicated to girls

Everything we want to be, someone probably already is. What we want to achieve, someone has already achieved. What we seek, someone has already found. The great task is knowing who to inspire us, to guide us. Dreaming into the void can be a risk. The risk that everything is nothing but an illusion. Dreaming into the void means having no references, means waiting instead of pursuing. And pursuing is preparing. Educating oneself, empowering oneself, socializing, and whenever an opportunity arises, showing confidence and being at your best.

You know, there\'s that saying that goes tell me who you hang out with, and I\'ll tell you who you are? Well, tell me who inspires you and what you dream of, and I\'ll know who you are and what you can become. If you\'re inspired by Lurdes Mutola, try to learn about this woman\'s story, her struggles, failures, victories, the process to become what truly inspires you. Only by knowing her, knowing her process, will you gain the extra energy to overcome all impossibilities and become the Olympic champion of the challenges you set for yourself. That is, whatever you become, you will have arrived with passion, effort, and dedication.
