He was ten meters from an easy win, and he gave it away on purpose. That’s not a motivational poster line, it’s a true story from a 2012 cross country race that still stops me in my tracks. Spanish runner Iván Anaya watches Olympic medalist Abel Mutai misjudge the finish line and slow down early. Anaya catches him, then makes a choice most people would never expect: he guides Mutai forward so the rightful winner crosses first.

If you want a five-minute daily encouragement boost, and a concrete reminder to do what’s right today, this is for you.
