Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn’t know Spanish and didn’t understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory. A journalist asked Ivan, “Why did you do that?” Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?” Ivan replied, “I didn’t let him win, he was going to win. The race was his.” The journalist insisted, and again asked, “But you could have won!” Ivan looked at him and replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my Mother think of that?” Values are passed on from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways and means to WIN. Instead, let us pass on the beauty and humanity. Because honesty and ethics are WINNING! #Ethics #Honesty #passitdown #teachlove

#MondayMotivation You will get ahead with ease when you’ve cultivated the right spirit, attitude, mastered your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. If you haven’t done this and do have some success out there, you do so without internal happiness, peace, or ease. The greatest mission you have Life is not “out there.”It’s within. So During these interesting times of social distancing and solitude I encourage all to Grow Within and seek out opportunities that will assist you in making personal development, self discovery and character growth a priority. Ask the tough questions. Start your meditation practice. Write in that journal and pray. Set goals that grow you. Dream! Discover who you are, Love who you are and grow you! Do the internal work, and the external becomes a joyous journey of abundance, happiness, ease, flow, purpose and contribution to The world. . . . . . . #ItsANewDay #feelgoodquotes #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #ItsANewYear #Favor #Blessed #2020 #TurnOfEvents #GlowUp #success #grateful #dailyinspiration #igdaily

👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿👊🏼 #BlackOutTuesday #EnoughIsEnough
On this day… 19 years (September 10th) ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and every night before you go to sleep in preparation for your life the next day, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted. #wewillneverforget
