I was recently speaking at a leadership retreat and told my story about running in a marathon. Whenever I tell the story, people instantly connect with challenges me and my fellow runners went through.
After telling my story, one of the students listening came up to me and said thank you. She also told me how she connected with the story. She thought about the challenges she has gone through in her life, but she also reflected on a quote from a family member.
She wrote the quote down and gave it me. She told me the story behind it, and I instantly got goose bumps.
Here is the quote...enjoy!
"The race is not given to the swift or the strong but to those who endure to the end!"
