The Longest Yard was a movie about some prisoners who wanted (and needed) to beat the guards in a game of football. Whether they would win or lose came down to scoring a two point conversion from the three-yard line. But it was the last one yard of the three that became the longest yard.
I think in life we have challenges that make us what we are. We constantly make lemonade from lemons because we don't control all of the factors of the environment around us. But there is always that longest yard. It is the one thing in life we desire (and need) the most. Out of all the tall mountains we are given or forced to climb, there's always that tallest mountain. And the last 36 inches of getting to the top are the hardest.
Our feet are an average 10 inches long. If we could just make 3 1/2 steps... to happiness.
