When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race.      My 36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of    37  who passed by and   38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the   39  and gave it a shot.
The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t   40  if I could finish.
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very   41  , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt      42  for a second.
But then I   43   something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   44  capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   45   was only to finish.
After a minute, it   46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned 47 about myself in that moment. I turned my   48  into inspiration.
I decided that I would not   49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and 50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I   51 the finishing line, I was proud 52 my accomplishment.
In life we all have those moments when we 53 ourselves to others. It’s only   54 . Don’ allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into   55  and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible.
