@tavelarocque: day 67 of the @higherupwellness speak your mind challenge he tried to run across an entire country on one leg, dying of cancer. he never finished. that’s exactly why we’ll never forget him. in 1980, a 21-year-old named terry fox started running across canada. he’d already lost his right leg to cancer, and he ran on a steel prosthetic, a full marathon, 26 miles, every single day, for 143 days straight. and he never made it. after 5,300 kilometers the cancer came back, this time in his lungs, and it forced him to stop. he died a few months later, at 22, the run unfinished. by every measure on paper, he failed. but that “failed” run has raised over 800 million dollars for cancer research, and millions of people still run in his name every year. he lost the exact thing he set out to do, and won something no finish line could ever have given him. so stop measuring yourself only by whether you finish. terry proved a life can be cut short, a goal can go unfinished, and the thing still outlives everyone who ever crossed a line. it was never about reaching the end. it was about what you set in motion just by trying. #terryfox #canada #philosophy #mindset #obsession
