21、对于这次的胜出,嘉菲自然是最兴高采烈的,当最兴奋的高潮过后,她才意会到最重要的是他童年以来的梦想终于成真了。嘉菲赢得奥运金牌那年是正值十八岁的花样年华。 二十年后的今天,嘉菲是一位职业的运动心理医生,成为世界级运动员的精神教练。用她本人的亲身经历来提醒不同背景的男女运动员,梦想是可以成真的。她激励每个来看她的人力求上进,以致在生活的各层面都可以做到最美善。虽然金牌并非人人可得,但人人都可努力做到最好。 步步移进美善世界 梦想、用功、决心和外来的鼓励和支持都能叫人达到成功的佳境。对运动员来说,先要选一项你愿意付出时间经历的运动,存著一份力争上游、不屈不挠的精神,如此你就可以坚持到底。无论你现在的
22、梦想是什么,嘉菲要用她的故事来说明梦想是可以成真的。 1.梦想可以作大一点,有远见才能达到臻善 第一眼看到加拿大滑雪选手南斯格兰在1968年奥运会赢得一面金牌的片断时,当嘉菲的印象深刻。当时嘉菲的父亲是加拿大世运队的随行医师,他将那些从法国格勒诺布尔所拍得的奥运会片断和在场的所见所闻与家人分享。嘉菲对南斯的胜利敬佩到五体投地。这些活动电影的片断就成为嘉菲梦想的一颗萌芽种子。 2.订定短线可行的目标 要事半功倍,目标要订短期的,并定期检讨到底达成了多少。此策略防止我们光会做梦而一事无成。目标有时是需要修改的,也许与原定计划有点出入,但一个新的目标会令人焕然一新,令长期的计划获得更新。 也许奥运会
23、的梦想对很多人来说是遥不可及,但对这个活泼的十岁女孩,嘉菲却并非如此。十一岁的嘉菲第一次陪同加拿大滑雪队去参赛,十三岁正式参加泛美赛事。整个旅程是疲累的,而且要离开家一段不短的时间,但她都能忍受,因为它正一步步地爬上奥运金牌的路。 3心智上要作好准备 就在嘉菲前往奥运会前两星期,她有机会去德国探望一个朋友,结果却大大地帮助嘉菲重建获胜的自信。他问嘉菲几个问题:你很想腾出时间吗?当你站在山顶的起点,你心里想的是什么?当你从山上向山下滑行,你又在想什么? 当嘉菲在认真地思索这些问题时,她下定决心,她很想腾出,于是他们俩马赫桑进行建立精神对策,务要在奥运会的胜。在此之前,嘉菲从来没有注意在心理上作如
24、此的准备功夫,她后来表示“建立精神对策,确实会令我集中精神去争取胜利,在体力上重新得力。” 面临赛事,嘉菲感觉自己是一个全新的人,在她脑海中不再是单单一个梦想,而是一套实现梦想的具体计划。当抵达因斯布鲁克的会场时,嘉菲是信心十足的。她说:“我觉得自己好像在一部电影中担任演员,我已经排练多时,充分准备好来赢此项赛事。当我站在山上起点,面对下面的群众,我记得我当时是这样想:你们都不知道,但我却知道我会胜利。” 4.不要让梦想破灭 google_ad_client=pub-0149582512245117; /*250x250,创建于08-6-17*/ google_ad_slot=79071181
25、03; google_ad_width=250; google_ad_height=250; /- type=text/javascript 追求梦想常常会遇到障碍。梦想本身会刺激你去奋发图强,担当困难临到时,你需要身边的人给与鼓励和支持,嘉菲很感激鼓励她的人“大姐罗莉经常鼓励我,催逼我,陪我练习。我父亲容许我追求梦想,我的教练培育我的梦想和我的自信心,我母亲是无名英雄,她总是在家里等我的回来。” 1975/76年加拿大滑雪队在世界杯的赛事惨淡收场,很多队员因此决定从此退出比赛。嘉菲也感到非常的灰心失意。她说:“我才刚起步,要达成我的梦想就遇到阻折,有一段时间,我几乎要把这梦想置于脑外,放弃所
26、有的希望。” 5.把你的梦想交托给神 嘉菲花很多时间在预备赛事,没有太多时间思想神,但她总是觉得有一股属灵的力量把她吸引住。只是就在参加奥运的前一个晚上,嘉菲看了一部令她激动到流泪的电影,不禁怀疑到底有没有神呢?第二天,当嘉菲做架空缆车上去比赛起点时,她默默地做了一个祷告:神啊,如果你真的存在的话,让你的旨意成全在我身上,无论结果如何,我都会高高兴兴地接受的。 如今当嘉菲回想当日情景,她说:“我相信神真的垂听我的祷告,他叫我达成梦想,为的是要我更接近他。”虽然很多年后嘉菲才成为基督徒,现在的她学会从另外一个角度来看人生的胜负,把一切的梦想、目标、胜利、演出完全交托给神,每次出赛之前她都先向神说:“我会尽力而为,求主补足我不能做的事。”她十分相信这是她成功的原因。 当你回顾你人生,你觉得如何呢?满足?匆忙?刺激?压力重重?在向前走?或是在倒退?大多数人都经历过上述的种种。我们也许在梦想有一天我们要做的事情,也许正希望忘却某些事。如果一切可以重新开始,你会如何谱写你生命的乐章?
