You won’t find your purpose waiting for inspiration to strike. You’ll find it in the moments you push forward when others stop. You’ll find it in service, in taking risks, in stepping up when it would be easier to stay comfortable.

Now he waits to see if he’ll get to run in the finals, something he was in control over had he not slowed down before the race was over.

I am = Two of the most powerful words in existence for whatever you put after them is your reality. How many people allow others to define who they are or what they think of themselves? There is only one right answer to the question, ‘Who are you?’ I am ME… The one thing you will never fail at is being you.

The “Magic Number 7” refers to our short-term memory, not our intelligence or IQ. Developed in 1956, Miller's Law says that there's a maximum of seven things, plus or minus two, that we can keep in our short-term memory at any given time.
