Motivation Monday A wonderful television drama was based on a the true story of a 40-year-old female schoolteacher who, after being sedentary most of her life, began jogging to get into shape. She enjoyed it and entered the Boston Marathon. Although she knew her time would not be good, her goal was simply to finish. The race turned out to be a grueling test of her body and spirit. She developed blisters; a bicycle ran into her. She kept on going. But within a few hundred yards of the finish, she fell, completely exhausted, unable to get up. Some of her friends strung a tape across the finish line and began to cheer her on. She lifted her head, saw the tape and realized her goal was within sight. She got up, took a few faltering steps, and then, with a burst of energy, ran the final few yards, crossing the finish line as a winner. The message in this moving story is that victory belongs to those who keep looking at the goal, not the going; not the process, but the prize.
