This month I would like to share with you an inspirational poem written by one of my dearest friends, Bill Clennan, the Dean of Canadian Motivational Speakers, who died suddenly this week. Bill, you were a great inspiration to me. I love you and will miss you dearly. Jody
THE REWARD IS WITHIN- Bill Clennan
The contest lasts for moments Though the training's taken years, It wasn't the winning alone that Was worth the work and the tears The applause will be forgotten The prize will be misplaced But the long hard hours of practice Will never be a waste For in trying to win You build a skill You learn that winning Depends on will You never grow by how much you win You only grow by how much you put in So any new challenge You've just begun Put forth your best And you've already won.
