It's been Phelps' mania for the last week or so with Michael winning 8 gold medals in swimming, but another swimmer has had my attention as well. She is 41 years old, a mother of a 2-year-old, and now a 5-time Olympian. Dara Torres is an inspiration to all of us to never live a life of complacency.
She quotes on her website:
"My work is other people’s play. I am in a pool doing what I was meant to do, swim. For anyone who feels stifled or stuck in their life, I say break down those barriers of indecision. Never let anyone set your personal or professional agenda. Live every day with the passion of your last. If I can inspire both women and men in anything it would be that age is just a number, not a death sentence. Wake up every morning with a plan and a dream. If you do, like me, dreams do still come true in your 40s and beyond!”"
