Tim Tebow is is partnering with CURE in building the Tebow Cure Hospital in his birth country - the Philippines. This is significant considering the high poverty level of the Philippines and its shortage of hospitals for children. This endeavor is yet another testament to his compassion and leading example of how we can use our talents for the betterment of others. Most people don't have the resources to build a hospital, but hopefully his example will broaden the awareness level of others in regards to reaching out to help others, even in the smallest of ways.
I love how his perspective of life is much larger than the selfish NFL bubble most players become trapped in. As much as I love NFL football, it is increasingly becoming more tainted with the kind of selfishness that shows its ugly face in the form of excess materialism, ego and pride. His broad perspective on life was evident when he did a post-game interview after the Broncos defeated the Jets, in where he was asked about how he keeps things [football victories] in perspective. Rather than indulging the commentators with what they "wanted" to hear, Tim quickly put things into a bigger perspective by making it clear to all the viewers that building the Tebow Cure Hospital was much more important than football victories [see below video].

This blog highlights and captures the exemplary character traits of Tim Tebow because such traits are things we can all benefit from. Nobody is perfect, but his example is something that people from all walks of life, different cultures & religions can appreciate.
