About 8 years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to carry the Olympic Torch in Colorado Springs. To this date, it is one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. Not because I felt I had achieved something, but because it was a moment of clarity for me. At that point when I carried the torch, I knew I wasn’t just carrying the torch for me, instead I carried the torch for everyone who had helped me, be me. Its not that I had blinders on thinking that I had went through life without being influenced. It was just at that point when I carried the torch, that things became so much more clearer to me.
