Gloria Estafan {oldie, but, 'goodie'; "Reach Higher"}
.. Aside from the accompanying Olympic photo-montage; there's a deep truth that can be learned and applied from this music video's message; which is, that the concept of 'reaching higher,' need Not be restricted to Olympic competition, or even athleticism! .. One can also extend this to the metaphorical, 'race-of-life,' itself!; including, such diverse ideas as, trying your best in All areas of life; and even extending to the mostly prosaic, taken-for-granted, behavior trait, of being nice to other people; even the 'unlovable' ones!
 
..As the Apostle Paul, once said, {to paraphrase}, if we only love {or like} people, that are pleasing to us; what does that say about our own character?!; aside from it being, All too similar, to the masses of.. {as yet}, 'unsaved,' 'fallen' pagans!
 
..'Note': I am quite imperfect in this area; as we undoubtedly, All are; {though, some, more than others}, but, at least I'm aware that there exists a 'Christ-like' standard, to aspire to!
..Now, on to the "YouTube" video link; of which the embedded capability, "was removed, upon request."
