1 . I needed to pay my internet and television providers bills and normally, I use my cellphone to pay them or I'd also get on my bicycle and ride up to their office to pay them. But on this day, I'd walk there to have lunch with my mom.
On my return route,¨ Miles, it's Trevor, "a rider called. He was a teammate I had played floor hockey with a few years back. He told me he was just out testing motorcycle, as later that day he was going to take a trip down to Salt Lake City by“. Trevor was going to a conference about a rare disease. This rare disease had taken his own six-year-old daughter and he needed to learn more, to advocate, and to help others here in Canada.
We hugged and then went on our separate ways. As l was shaking up my drink of health, I ran into Grant - another one of my floor hockey team mates. He was out for his daily six-mile run on his lunch break.
“Man, you are Miles !”he replied. He hadn't seen me in a few months and my shoulders, arms, and chest were larger and far more detailed, thanks to the help of my personal trainer. And now they matched my biking legs. I was also eight pounds lighter at 170 pounds.
After a visit there I returned home. And I was lost in thought. It is easy to pay a bill online but I would have missed so much, including my beautiful moment with Trevor. Take the step. Go the extra mile in your life. You'll never know what is waiting for you along the way, or what you will discover of yourself, of others.
