“This guy is a double amputee and is slated to race the 400 meters at the Norwich Union Grand Prix in Sheffield (England) against the fastest in the world…and now the able bodied runners are complaining that his prosthetics may give him an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!”
These were the words that I read in an email from a colleague prior to the race on July 15th.
It turns out that Oscar Pistorius, the double amputee from South Africa, running his first world-class able-bodied race, was disqualified for running out of his lane. Still, after digging into research on Pistorius, it seems that GOMO! has been a way of life for him for a long, long time.
After all, he’s had a major need to “Get Over it” with his double below the knee amputation when he was barely a toddler. And he’s clearly focused on “Move On! with strength” when you consider his belief in his talent and the reality of his running successes in the past handful of years.
What an irony that Pistorius, with his double amputation, has so focused on developing strength and speed, that he now is a “threat” to able-bodied racers.
How could GOMO! benefit an obstacle that you face? How could you apply GOMO! so strongly that your obstacle would actually become a source of prowess?
It’s worth thinking about. It’s worth a life changing transformation.
