Tonight, my older brother Bobby is absent.

He's home from college for a week and the word is, he lost a tennis match to my younger

brother Mark.

It's not uncommon for one of us to skip dinner after a particularly embarrassing loss.

Sometimes it's better not to show up than to have to face hearing your performance

get ridiculed.

I look over, I see Mark grinning ear to ear.

He's the big winner tonight.

I know that feeling.

Winning is exhilarating, but I know what else he's feeling too.

It's what I feel when I win.

Victory is exalting, but it's terrifying at the same time.

Special Olympics Chairman Tim Schreiver grew up with a very specific idea of what it means

to be a winner.

As a member of the Kennedy family, he saw close relatives compete at the highest level

of politics and grew accustomed to a winner-takesaw mentality.

But as the years went on, Tim began to question whether competition necessarily had to be that

way, or if there was perhaps a more fulfilling way to play.

In this series we combine immersive first-person stories, breathtaking music and mindfulness

prompts, so that we may see our lives reflected back to us in other people's stories, and

that can lead to improvements in our own inner lives.

From weight to what, this is a meditative story.
