~:[CH6 - Day 277]:~ The Search
I think in life sometimes we are given things while at other times, we must search the world around us for it. Personally, when it's given to me, I have a harder time than seeking out what I need. It's difficult because it's pretty easy to take the easy road, but sometimes, the more challenging road is exactly where you need to be in order to learn, to grow and to mature. You need obstacles so you can problem solve, you must work hard so you can appreciate the fruits of your labor and you must be ready to overcome doubts and fears so that you can become unstoppable. Yes, life is about this search. As the athletes ran across the course today, you could tell that many were on that search. I could see the sadness and pain behind the eyes of some, the pain in shins and knees for those in "I" group and sorting of various options to give one the best chance moving forward. Regardless of where their search will guide them, I know it will help them grow, help make them stronger and help them appreciate all the luxuries that they have in life. I took one last look at our athletes and smiled as they headed off into the campus during the race and while I quite enjoyed that the the boys had pulled out the win today, I was even more proud of all those who have continuously poured all of their efforts into this adventure. While they do not know what tomorrow brings down this trail, at least they gave themselves the opportunity along this search, to discover something amazing about themselves.
