While running on the Lakefront Trail, I found myself about 20 yards behind a girl running about the same speed as I was. I didn't know who she was, but let me tell you, she kept me going - as long as I stayed the same distance behind, I knew I was keeping my pace about the same. She had no clue I was following her...but that doesn't matter. She kept me going anyways.
Allow me to make a connection, then...Throughout our lives, we all have those people who keep us going - some know it, some don't. And, at some point(s), knowingly or unknowingly, you will be that person for someone(s) else.
So, keeping that in mind...what are you doing to keep yourself going? What picks you up and energizes you when you'd rather sit this one out?
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
