Lessons from 2016 Summer Olympics Silver Medalist Hidilyn Diaz
Happy Thursday! 🙂
Yesterday, April 19, I had a wonderful chat and one-on-one interview with 2016 Summer Olympics Silver Medalist, our Pride, Hidilyn Diaz.

I’ll share the interview with you real soon! I just want to make a quick message to share with you the three powerful lessons I learned from my interview with Hidilyn.
Powerful Lesson 1: Dream Big!
Hidilyn has big dreams. At a young age, she already knew what she wanted. She worked hard to be part of the national team and to win in the Summer Olympics.
I asked her what’s in her bucket list and she shared that she wants to put up a gym, make weightlifting part of the sports for UAAP, etc. She has big dreams and she continues to dream.
Powerful Lesson 2: Learn to Sacrifice.
We see Hidilyn as a successful athlete. But what we didn’t see were the hardships and sacrifices she underwent. She’d train from Mondays to Saturdays. She had to eat healthy and forego junk food, chocolates, and dessert. And so on. Lifting a 100 kg barbell is no joke.
Powerful Lesson 3: Put God First.
Hidilyn attends The Feast in PICC regularly. Her motto in life is, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you…”
From my interview with Hidilyn, I observed an achiever who keeps her feet on the ground. She was down-to-earth and I understood why that was so. She credits everything to God. She gives the glory to God.
Do you have big dreams in life? Hope this short post on the lessons I learned from Hidilyn would inspire you.
I wish you success and happiness!
