A friend of mine told the
following story. While watching the Special Olympics one year, all of the
runners were lined up for the 500-yard race. The runners were given the signal
to begin running. They all darted toward the finished line as fast as their
feet could carry them. Suddenly, one of the runners fell down. One of the other
runners stopped to help his fallen friend. Soon another runner stopped to help
his two buddies. Slowly, one by one they all returned back to where the first
runner had fallen. Helping each other and holding each other’s hands they
crossed the finished line together.
The truth of this story is
simple and powerful!
We are all in this thing
together, aren’t we! When we win, we
win together. Your success is also my success! What you do is important!
Who needs your help
today? Perhaps someone has come into
your life that simply needs a friend to help him or her up from a fall.
