The Kindness of Sharing Stories

"You must do the things you think you cannot do."
~ Eleonor Roosevelt

In this age of social media, I sometimes wonder how much sense some of the gratuitous sharing makes.  I'm not sure that most people want to know all of the information we share.  That said, I recently read an autobiographical book by a professional athlete that shared challenges that he had faced and how he had dealt with them.  Not a sports fan by any stretch of the imagination, I found myself profoundly inspired by the story that he related so candidly.  And the other day as I walked on the treadmill, I pushed the speed just a little higher and I went for just a little longer as I thought about all that he had overcome.
