a good heart
I learned from a young age that I would never be fastest or smartest or the most handsome. There are limitations that you just cant control. If I could be taller, I would. If I could have better memory, I would. If I could, I would, but you cant. Things dont work like that.
However, I always found that there was one aspect of my life I could control. I could have a big heart. You do not have to have anything particular gifted or special about you to care for other people, to wish them well and be kind. Though I forget sometimes, I strive to have a good heart. It doesnt take much for people to know you care. In the worst of times, where the heart and mind wanders to the most unfavorable of places, people dont need anything else besides you to be there.
Not the right answers. Not criticism. Not good looks. Not money. Not athleticism. None of that. All they need is for you to be there, and all that takes is a good heart.
