Life is a lot like a marathon. Just as a runner keeps moving toward the finish line without stopping, we too live each day continuously, carried forward by the flow of time. And for marathon runners, nothing is more empowering than the cheers of the crowd. Even when they are breathless or feel as though their legs might give out, applause and words of encouragement give them strength they didn’t know they had.
In the same way, each member of your family is running their own race—working hard to complete the course set before them. So cheer them on with all your heart. Wish them happiness, support their dreams, and encourage them in both their daily efforts and long-term goals.
