I often wonder what inspires people to greatness. How do Olympic athletes get up day after day, year after year to put in hour after hour of grueling work for simply the chance to be an Olympian? How do peace keepers selflessly risk their lives and leave their families and homes to do something monumental for this world? How do others rise above their circumstances, overcome hardship and achieve greatness and inspire others along the way?
I know I am not the only one who admires these qualities in others. Today this video was being passed around on Twitter. I watched and I wept. I can always use a good cry but more than that I can always use some inspiration. Watch:
