Yes Sir!: Rudy Part 2

In the final scenes of the movie Rudy, there is a point when Rudy finds out that he will not be able to dress for his final chance to play. No dream of running out onto the field. No reward for the hours of practice, the multitudes of sacrifice, and the thousands of bruises. His success, or his idea of what success was, was completely out of his hands. He had done all that he could and apparently failed.

It was by the example that he lived, the dedication that he showed, and by the service to others that he performed that his dream is realized when the other players petition to the coach and are willing to sacrifice their spot on the team for Rudy. His dream was fulfilled and his life forever changed because he was willing to serve others.

When you help others achieve their goals, your goals become more attainable. Sometimes it is the ones you help who become the ones who help you.
