JIM THORPE - AND OVERCOMING ANY BAD THING IN LIFE

I love people who can just zip through life, regardless of what bad or good may come their way - and do it with grace and with beauty.  It is all about attitude and not letting things get the best of you:

 


Here is Jim's story:

 This is Jim Thorpe. Look closely at the photo, you can see that he's wearing different socks and shoes. This was not a fashion statement. It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim, a Native American from Oklahoma represented the U.S. in track and field. On the morning of his competitions, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage bin. That's the pair that he's wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals. Just a reminder that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Whatever you woke up with this morning: stolen shoes, bad jobs, ill health, failures in relationships or whatever, don't let it stop you from running your race. God aims for you to win despite what the enemy throws at you!
