4.  Actor Zac Efron flies to Rio to surprise super fan/Olympic gymnast/gold-medalist, Simone Biles, and the Final Five.

Zac Efron is a long time fan of the Olympics.  So, when he heard that the amazing Olympic gymnast, Simone Biles, was a super fan of his, he knew he had to surprise her. And, with help from Today, he did. Efron teared up as he watched Biles receive the gold medal for her floor routine, and Biles freaked out when she got to meet Efron in person.  It was an epic encounter for both stars, and it was a super sweet moment to watch.  Taking time out of our busy schedules to commend and encourage one another always makes a difference.

I love these Olympic stories because they show the goodness of the human heart in the midst of a self-focused world.  We’ll be surprised by how much good there is in this world when we’re looking for it.  And, the 2016 Olympics has given us many inspiring stories that illustrate this promising truth.

For more encouragement, advice, and inspiring stories, connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.  Thanks for reading and sharing.  Be blessed!
