Lance Armstrong – the cancer-surviving cyclist who fought back to win seven Tour de France victories and take the sports world by storm. It’s one of the most well-known stories of our time. It’s a story that was never true. And in the end, it’s a story that has more to do with us than we may realize. We all want to be known for something. Whether it’s for being successful or influential or a winner or something else we see as impressive, we spend a lot of time and energy projecting an image of ourselves that we think will gain us acceptance from others. But this isn’t who we really are, and if we aren’t careful, we’ll end up going through life without being truly known by anyone. And this will rob us of ever knowing true acceptance.
