Some years ago, in the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants who were all mentally challenged in some way assembled at the starting block for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly with a dash, but with a relish to run the race and finish and win. All except one boy who once he started out in the race tumbled over the asphalt several times and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. They all turned around and went back every single one of them. One girl with Down Syndrome bent down, kissed him, and said, “This will make it better.” All nine linked arms and walked across the finish line together. Everyone in the stadium cheered, this went on for minutes and people were still telling the story. Why? Because deep down we know this one thing; what matters in this life is more than just winning for ourselves. What truly matters in this life is helping others to win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course!!!!
