Being that I’m not in the front of the pack, I knew I’rd get to see for The other thing I kept hearing was how great the crow dsupport is. What I found was what you see and what you experiencee are a matterof Sure, I saw some people gettingv sick, in tears and struggling to make it to the finisg line – but they made it. I believe they did becaused of theirsupport networks. That came from many such as family, friends and training partners. But the networko I got to see for 26.2 mile s was one of caring strangers who stayede forthe duration. They knew their support was more importanty to the back ofthe pack.
Therde was a man in the last leg of the race with a signthat “You’re our inspiration.” I shoute out to him, my friend, you are ours!” His sign reminded me of one of my favoritse books by Ken Blanchard, “Gung Ho!” Its message abou t inspiration focuses on three principles: worthwhile in control of achieving the goal; and cheeriny each other on. As with your career, when trainingt for a marathon, you must believre the work you’re doing is worthwhile or you won’t continue. I heard a statistic that only one out of everh three people who begin training for a marathon will make it to thestartingt line. Work is not much different.
We need to improvew our odds inboth areas. In as with the marathon, we need to keep our eye on the finish line and be proactive in guiding the cours e toour goals. If we lose control or get off it’s much harder to finish. So commitment and dedication drive oursuccess – or failure. but in my opinion, the most important is cheeringotherds on. We often hear that the main reason peoplse leave their employer is becausesthey don’t feel appreciated. Maybe we can lesseh this problem oreliminate it. Like most thingds in life, perception is reality.
My perception, my reality of the Flyinhg Pig issimple – while the road to the finisbh might have been long and hard, those caring strangers made me and many othersz gung-ho. In that spirit, I urge you to folloew their lead and encourage and inspire the people you touch in everh aspect ofyour life. It makes a huge difference.
