In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt stood before a crowd in Paris and spoke words that still echo:

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…”

He wasn’t just giving a lofty speech from his mouth —he was using his tragic life experiences to speak through his heart. President Roosevelt had lost his wife and mother on the same day. He’d ridden into battle. Fought wars and corruption. And buried his youngest son in World War I.

This speech, double-taped and tattered, hangs from my computer screen. I read it every day. And it helps me. There is joy and grief. Happiness and sorrow. Failures and wins. And while Teddy Roosevelt has long been gone, his words are very much alive and well—still encouraging me how to live wholly and fully. And to simply stay the course—IN the arena.  Thanks, Teddy.
