They Believed

September 5, 2017: Elevate

Ready, set, go! They were off, on a race to the bottom. They were on a mission to win, no matter what. The winner, they believed, would be the fastest. The fastest, they believed, would be better than the others. The best, they believed, would be revered, respected, and righteous. Little did they know, of course, that the better person is not the fastest or the best, but the wisest. The wisest, they believed, is the smartest. Little did they know that this was not so. In fact, the wisest is who elevates others. This way, she wins because they win.
