Yesterday I was watching the women’s 100 meter Olympic race that included US favorite Sha’Carri Richardson. The announcer explained as they lined up that this race had a “fresh podium,” meaning none of the previous Olympic stars were involved as they had either not made their teams, retired, or were injured.
The idea of a “fresh podium” is interesting.
There are times in our lives when the past is not part of the story yet to unfold in our lives. The path in front of us, in other words, is clear. This does not necessarily mean we will win a gold medal – as Richardson did not – but an opportunity has presented itself and the podium is “fresh.”
