Quote: Specific to Universal Truth.

On Stage 5 of the 2004 Tour de France, a breakaway group got out in front of the race, and a then-young Thomas Voeckler won the stage and the opportunity to wear the yellow jersey. In the tour, the race leader wears the yellow jersey – it’s enormously prestigious in world cycling.

Voeckler, wearing the yellow jersey, walked past the previous holder and the controversial cyclist Lance Armstrong and said, "Don’t worry, I am only borrowing it". In a surprisingly humble moment, Armstrong replied, "We are all only borrowing it".

Whatever position of leadership or responsibility you hold in public office or a private company, it’s helpful to remember you are only borrowing it.

You don’t own it, and it doesn’t define you.

We all only borrow our lives. It"s God who defines.
