Today, my cousin sent me the link to this video clip.
This is a true story!
A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's' request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together..' to which his father said 'Yes' too.
For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86Kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the Coast of the Big Island . Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Spiritual Needs and Happiness
Considering spiritual needs and happiness.
The need to feel unique, the need to feel a sense of purpose, the need to feel connected with others and with something bigger than me, and the need to understand where I fit in to the big picture.
Find ways to meet these needs in my own life and to look for ways to help others recognize and meet these needs in their own lives.
Celebrate the things that make me different, that make me special - even the littlest things.
Observe others and notice their beauty and uniqueness.
Work to identify my gifts and talents, and use them to the best of my ability as often as possible.
Look for ways to encourage others as they discover, exercise and grow their own talents.
Look for opportunities to make connections with others and with God.
Live a life that expresses gratitude.
Consider the issues that face the world and ask myself what I can do to make a difference in my small part of that big world. Don't live in a bubble. Keep my own challenges, problems and weaknesses in perspective.
Aim for this every day.
