    Some would find fault with the morning red, if they ever got up early enough.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When I was going through my transition of being famous, I tried to ask God why was I here? what was my purpose? Surely, it wasn’t just to win three gold medals. There has to be more to this life than that.
