Chamb» Manager Sometimes as we are caught up in the pressures of life of seemingly important deadlines of the holiday brainwashing of wanting "things" and "more is better'" we need to climb off the merry go-round and reflect on the true meaning of life. I share the following clipping from my refrigerator door: "A few years ago at the Seat tle Special Olympics, nine con testants, all physically or men tally 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 the 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 cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kiss ed him and said, "this will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the story. Why? Because deep down we know this one thing, 'what matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What truly mat ters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course'. Refocus your treadmill and think about lifes real priorities. Happy Thanksgiving.
