A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100 yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to finish and win.All, that is, except one boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy. They slowed down and looked back. Everyone one of them. One girl who had down's syndrome bent down and kissed him and said,"This will make it better." After getting him off the ground, all nine linked arms and walked across the finish line together. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on fro several minutes! People who were there are still telling this story believe it or not. Why?
Because deep down we all know one thing.
What matters most in this life is more than winning for ourselves, but in this life helping others to win, even if it means slowing down and changing our own courses!
This is something a lot of people should honestly think about and put into thought.
Regardless of what I'm going through right now,
I will always slow down and change my course for someone else because thats what I do.
I love to help others.
Even if that makes me look like an ass hole!
Its happened.
An ex, close friends, etc.
But who care what they think.
I will continue to be me,
Loving, willing to do anything for anyone regardless of what or how I feel.
If there is anything I can leave you with its this,
I work for the center of disability,.
I don't want praise or people saying,"theres a spot waiting for u in heaven because your helping"them""
Its something I choose to do and love!
People!
I put in time so that I can help others no different from you or I.
I feel people should be more like me.
Strong, and confident within my line of work!!!
Just a thought!
There is no "I" in TEAM!
