The world Olympics are every four years. The race of life is daily. The athletes prepare to compete in the trials they are from (USA/state) to represent their country. Olympic trials are held in various states for different events.
On the other hand humanity deals with a daily race which is every day. Life starts by waking up eyes open, lungs working. Breath. Life with our health issues. Some of us deal with cancer treatment, or diabetes. Others of us deal with neurological issues and various parts of our anatomy which have unique issues. Each of us just need to run our race the best way we can. We can prepare and train by maintaining our bodies with daily vitamins and minerals. The gamble is yours by maintaining your nutrition and all that entails your training or preparations as an individual sees fit.
BIBLE BOOK Proverbs 16:33[NLT]
We may throw the dice,[a]
but the Lord determines how they fall.
God created us with a unique anatomy. My anatomy struggles neurologically with a disease named CADASIL.

Federal funding exists for now to help scientist develop treatments to alleviate patients and future generations living with this disease. Stroke life symptoms till Jesus takes me home. I will live out His plan and purpose for my life. Testify to others that my God has allowed me to maintain me cognitive ability and speech to testify about His daily miracles in my life. The ability to walk and talk with cognitive ability is my daily miracle. Don’t take the breath of life for granted.

Vision I don’t take for granted, the ability to open my eyes with the ability to see where I walk. Walk and talk to testify about it all. Remember don’t take life for granted. Today is the day of Salvation! Accept Jesus as Savior and accept eternal life. It’s not just about your physical anatomy. It’s you soul!
Matthew 5:13-16 New Living Translation
Teaching about Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
