What I’ve Learned From Slovak Hockey Team at the Olympics

Author: Silvia Pencak

I don’t know about you, but here at my place we live Olympics. Late nights and early mornings mean lack of my beauty sleep and it’s starting to show on my face. My dark circles are getting even darker and I need 2 extra layers of concealer to look normal during a day. Uff! But you know what? Watching these men and women performing their best after 4 years of hard work reminds me that there’s time for hard work, but there’s always a reason for hard work. So what’s yours? What do you want to achieve? Where do you want to be in couple of years? How do you want to look? Who do you want to be? What is your reason why you’re doing what you’re doing? Once you figure it out, taking some “ME” time, taking care of your body and mind, working towards your goals won’t feel hard. You’ll start to see your problems as stepping stones. But remember, our lives can’t be just about working hard! There also needs to be a time to celebrate! Define smaller steps on your way to your dreams and take time to celebrate once you get there.

I’m not sure whether you watched yesterday’s hockey game Canada vs. Slovakia, but I did. Many of you know that Slovakia is my home country and I can’t help but I still like Slovak hockey team the best. And the game they played yesterday was amazing. Don’t worry, I’m not going to write about the game, but I want to share with you a lesson learned. Slovakia was losing game in the beginning of last period 3:0. There were many comments all over internet about Canada team being winners and Slovaks as losers without a chance to win. But you know what? Slovakia is a very interesting nation. We don’t give up easily. Slovaks gave 2 goals and last 7 minutes of the game looked like they’re ruling the game. They didn’t win, but for sure they showed Canadians they don’t give up easily.

Ok, so what’s the point? Why do I write about hockey here at My Magnetic Blog? It’s simple. Just think about it. How many times did you feel like you’re loosing the game? How many times did you feel like quitting? Everyone around you says or thinks you’re just a loser, you can’t make it, you can’t look good, you can’t loose 10 pounds, you can’t have a good life, you just can’t. But you know what? It’s not true! YOU CAN! You can take your life to your own hands and you CAN be in charge of your own life. You can disregard all the shame, guilt and lack of strong will and you CAN be the best you, reach your dreams and prove everyone else wrong. Why? Because whatever you can dream about you can achieve. If you want it bad enough.

Yes, you might need some tools and resources, yes, you might need support of other like-minded people. Yes, you might need to change the way you used to do things, but you definitely CAN make it happen for you!

And you know what? Sometimes you don’t win. But it’s ok. Because even if you don’t win, even if you don’t achieve your goal, you’ll be much closer to your goal than without even trying. One of my mentors, Mary Kay Ash once said: “Shoot for the moon and you’ll end up among stars.” Don’t give up, try and the change, the break through will come.

If you’ve had enough losing your game, if you’re ready to change your life, look better, feel better and become a better person, Magnetic Look is just the place for you.
