Give Hope to Others
When Forrest ran across America, he attracted a group of followers. First one man started to follow. Then a few others. And before long, there was a whole crowd following Forrest.
In Forrest’s own words:
Now, for some reason what I was doing seemed to make sense to people … Somebody later told me … it gave people hope. Now, I don’t know anything about that.

The irony is that Forrest himself could not fully explain why he was running. He said, “I just felt like running.” Whatever his motivation for running, one thing was certain – Forrest was committed!
People follow others who are committed. Forrest was committed. His commitment gave hope to others.
What are you committed to?
What are you doing that’s giving hope to others?
