I got my confirmation ticket today! Yea! This is my 4th Chicago Marathon and I still like getting that little confirmation booklet. The dictionary defines confirm as "to strengthen (a person) in habit, resolution, opinion, etc."
That's what that little book does. It strengthens my habit and resolution to do and be my best. It strengthens my determination to reach as many as possible with the message of personal possibilities. So many people lead mediocre lives leaving so much on the table. They never risk. They never stretch. They never move out of their comfort zone.
When you received your confirmation book, you were given evidence of your strength of character and personal determination. You have made it so far and the only thing left is the baptism by miles and your final confirmation into the community of Marathoners!
To all of you who have arrived at the place to celebrate, with no regrets, your confirmation booklet - I AFFIRM you!
