11. This is Jim Thorpe. Look closely at the photo- you can see that he’s wearing different socks and shoes. This wasn’t a fashion statement. It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim, an American Indian from Oklahoma represented the U.S. in track and field. On the morning of the second day of competitions, his shoes were stolen. It is said that his coach found two random shoes for him to wear. That’s the pair that he’s wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Jim won two gold medals in the following two days…. all while wearing the mismatched shoes.
This is a perfect reminder that you don’t have to resign to the excuses that have held you back. So, what if life hasn’t been fair? What are you going to do about it today? Whatever you woke up with this morning; stolen shoes, ill health, failed relationships, failed business, don’t let it stop you from running your race. You can experience more in life if you’ll get over the excuses and get on with living. You can have reasons, or you can have results…but you can’t have both. Author Unknown
