Body by God 2

The four rules of olympic success will give me the best chance to succeed if I follow Body by Godnow is all on you. You have done certain things to help you get up to this point now you need t guidelines. The first rule is Discover and develp your gifts and I think this is a good rule because it can apply to many things. If you are in sports then you need to discover your best sport and your best position. This also applies to your career , you should find something in the job field that you are good at, because the chances are if you are better skilled in that area you will succeed more and get paid more. The second rule of olympic success is possess a superior plan. This can apply to anything in life this is basically saying have a set plan. If you have a set plan you know what your doing when you are going into the process. It is basically your foundation or outline and almost always gives you an advantage. The third rule of olympic success is follow the plan. Now that you have found your strengths and you have set up a plan this will help you follow your plan. This is what really everything is leading up to basically execution. The fourth and last rule of Olympic success is be inspired to win. To me this is my favorite rule of all. This o look inside of you to find inner want. Now you need to look inside of you to find the want to win. I like this because it is all on you nobody else can help you. It truly is a matter of who wants it more. I think this is the last step because if you want something bad enough then you will get it. I also like this because it is inside of everyone to have the want you sometimes just need to put yourself on the line to get it. I acceidently moved the lines around so its kinda messed up..........

body for life 1st blog

I am reading Body by God written by Dr. Ben Lerner. It is a good book so far I have read up to page 50. So far the book has talked about getting your body right. Getting your body right consists of getting it right physically, mentally, and spiritually. I have learned alot of things from this book so far and it talks about life in ways have never looked at it. I think it is important to get your body right in all of these ways. Your body is a temple of God and the way you treat it is important. Anything you do to damage your body is damaging God's temple. I think this book will get me back spiritually where I need to be. I believe it also will help me reach my goals physically, with certain exercise tips, and especially nutrition help. I have enjoyed this book alot so far for the simple fact that I am interested in this topic and it is very engaging, and it is a book trying to help people.

Finding the Anchor for the Storms of Life

I agree with this article and I think it is an amazing article. I agree and think we have our ups and downs in life but throught it all we need to have our "anchor" which is hope. Hope can get us through alot of things and it can also help us do alot of things. The article said that the waves were gonna be tough, but he believed that his anchor would with hold the storms. That is what we need to do the wave are like the rough times in life they are going to be there to try to knock us off course, but we all need to have an anchor "hope" and just believe that we will be able to handle it. The bigger the anchor the more it will be able to whith hold so if you have alot of hope then there will be little doubt in you that you will be knocked off course. This article talks alot about hope and if you are ever having a tough time or just doubt yourself you need to look at this article.

Religion

Religion is stated in this article as "an organized approach to human spirituality which usually encompasses a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices, often with a supernatural or transcendent quality, that give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life through reference to a higher power or truth". This is true but religion is also about more than you can speak in words. I think religion has alot to do with what do you believe , if you do, is the higher power. Your riligion is going to rely on what you think that higher power is. I also believe religion has alot to do with faith. Most of the religions believe in a higher power they cannot see. Yes, that takes alot of guts, but that is faith. Most religions are full of people with alot of faith in thier higher power. Religion is something you need to decide for yourself and if you believe there is a higher power.

Gender roles in Islam

In Islam women are suppose to be home makers and caregivers. Thier role is to take care of the kids , take care of the home, and cook food. The wives are to look after thier homes. The men are supposed to support thier wives and do the labor. They are to bring home the money or food for the wife to cook. In Islam the men and women each have a role for thier family. I understand that that is the way that it has been for thier culture for a long time, and that is what they are used to. I on the other hand don't like how each person has a certain role in the family. That defeats any purpose of being or doing something different. I think any man, woman, or child should be able to do what they want and not have a certain role. If they like the ways they are doing things that is fine, buy i don't think it is fair to the others that don't like doing the same thing all the time. Dont be afraid to change things. this was a very good article.

Lunar New Year a time to reconnect with Asian homeland

A girl who was adopted at a very young age is trying to reconnect with her culture. I think it is very cool of her to do such a thing. She is showing alot of faith and alot of respect for her culture by doing her cultural things without livng where it is majority ruled. Her decorating her room and wearing certain clothes for such a special occasion is very brave of her, it is showing that she doesn't care about what others think . She is going to do whatever she feels is culturally right. I think it is very cool of her adoptive parents to her too. Most people would probably try to get her to be more like thier culture, but they are just letting her choose what she wants to do which is stick with her heritage. I think this is a very good article and it shows that no matter where you are or what you are doing you should just be you at all times. I reccomend this article to anyone and everyone.
