Oksana Chusovitina


I think watching a 33-year old win an Olympic medal and prepare to compete as a 37 year-old in London is enough to propel me to at least try. But not try in the sense of doing something for a week, or a month. Trying in the sense of structuring my life around something with a lot of risk involved, no guaranteed reward other than building self-discipline and believing in the other narrative. I can reach out for new ideas, places, and experiences, or not. And it does really only depend on me. Or at least, that is all it needs to depend on.
