Achieving anything comes at a cost and this afternoon in assembly we considered the example set by the olympic athletes that have graced our screens this summer and will be doing so in the paralympics soon.
Amazing stories of commitment and perseverance and the will to overcome obstacles.
The fact that Adam Peaty was frightened of water as a child - yet set a world record for 100m butterfly more than once!
Mo Farah, who stumbled yet still won.
David Weir a powerhouse in the wheelchair
Maddie Thompson and Jordanne Whiley who have acheived so much in basketball and tennis.
All of these and so many others inspired us to make the most of the God given talents that we have.
I wonder who inspires you to make the most of what you have?
