It's taken a couple weeks to process this years ride and some of the things that took place. Here are some of the insights I garnered from the ride this year and the overall experience.
Working hard, digging deep, acting on behalf of others, and the rewards for all of those things are sweeter than stealing what is not yours. We have a limited time on this earth, mistakes will be made. Work hard and chase your purpose, it will pay off in the end.
I am surrounded by an amazing community. I had an idea to help raise money for the Kids With Cancer Society. This organization does so much for hurting families. I wanted to make a difference. I rode a bike for 24 hours, so many beautiful and caring people created an energy that energy lead to the success of this idea.
Forgiveness is freedom.
Trust can be broken quickly and easily.
Gratitude will overcome all.
Family and friends are wonderful treasures, I'm so blessed.
Ordinary people are extraordinary, they are the difference makers.
Money used for good creates a refreshed and new world outlook.
Energy is an open and vast expanse we can all enter into. When we work together and have an attitude of helping we change society. I am amazed at the life this ride has taken on because of the people who have come to my side in support of it. WE raised the money from this ride. I won't minimize the effort it takes to ride for 24 hours. However it is the ideal of the people who stand behind the ride and donate that makes this thing fly.
Others will join you in crazy ideas. Others will support you when you have a crazy idea.
One can always push a little further, dig a little deeper, and learn a lot about their nature.
We all have choices to make on how we will live our philosophy. Daily we can walk it and witness it in our words and actions.
Our legacy is to serve, that is the highest achievement we can attain.
There is always an opportunity to serve.
The destination is not the ultimate goal, the journey is the true objective. During the 24 hours there were struggles. I knew that going into the ride. When you are in the midst of the struggle it can take away perspective. I had one particular struggle that lasted a long time. Yet it couldn't take away the joy I feel because of all of you. Each one of you who rode, helped out in some way, showed up to support, donated, you're the reason this ride has become a success. The journey continues, kids still get cancer, I can't change that. I can continue to raise funds for their families. We can continue to make a difference in their lives. I am grateful to you all for being a part of my 24 hour journey.
God Bless and thank you
