The SPIRIT of a winner is not always measured by when the champion crosses the finish line. This was certainly the case during the marathon event of the 1968 summer Olympics in Mexico.

John Akhwari of Tanzania fell hard dislocating his right knee and grievously injuring his shoulder and head during the race. Despite the pain he was experiencing this man knew that he could not and would not quit. His heart was set. He would run the path before him. He would vanquish the fleeting moment. Despite the agony of each step he pushed passed his mortal limits. Through conditions that would wipe out many competitors that day he finished in last place.

At times like these the human spirit is tested. I look up to this man because he knew that the race wasn't won by crossing the finish line first... It was won by crossing the finish line.

No one ever said that the race was going to be easy. The professionals who leave it all on the line can make those steps look easy... But every now and then someone like John Akhwari re-write the story.

When you strip away the ego and lay bare the human SPIRIT you have that critical ingredient. Found in the daunting moments of life this priceless component bonds us to the present where victory is won and defeat is transcended.

And here it is. Buried deep within each of us... If we open our eyes to see it. Insurmountable it is the resilience of our SPIRITS that carries us over the rugged regions that challenge us. Conditions that require us to draw upon that eternal and nonperishable sanctuary. The SPIRIT of our souls. Empowered this is the bedrock that supports our active aspirations. Our lives worth living.

Do you think this aspect of health is worth taking care of? What if I told you that you could compound your SPIRIT? If you knew what was possible how would that change the shape of your future? Want to explore activities that compound your SPIRIT?
