“When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block” –James E. Faust

                                                        

Reflection:

For many of us including me sometimes tend to think that obedience is a stumbling block. When in reality it’s a building block. We tend to see that obeying is hard to do and that we might fail to do it that’s why we see it as a stumbling block. If we really paid attention to the reward that we earn from being obedient, being obedient would be our number one goal. Yeah we might think that we try to obey we might fail but we need to learn from our mistakes and the next time we try we know what not to do and you try something else. A professional baseball player didn't learn to hit a ball with his first swing it needs practice and learning from past mistakes to become greater at something. Sometimes you won’t always earn a reward as an object but you can feel great about yourself when you obey. The simple feeling of feeling good can be enough to be your reward for being obedient. We have many authorities like parents and teachers and officers but the one person we should always try to obedient to is God. His rewards are not always what you want but you will realize He gives you what you deserve which is the best. It might seem hard but we need to persist until we succeed. Choose the right in everything you do and don’t forget that obedience is needed everywhere you go.

  

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what Greeks knew; that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.” –President John F. Kennedy

                                    

       

Reflection:

Physical fitness is the most important activity for a person to live healthy and strong. Without physical fitness the body won’t know how to move and the body will only function unless we are strong and healthy. This can be seen in reaching a goal, how do you reach goal? You first must plan what you want to become, how you’re going to achieve it and how hard are you going to work. You first must practice the profession you want to achieve before taking on the real world. We must feed ourselves in the way of surrounding ourselves with those who are positive and will encourage you with your goal. Stay strong even though it might seem hard because the harder it is the stronger and wiser you will become out of it.

“Vision without action is a daydream.

Action without vision is a nightmare.”

                           –Japanese Proverb

Reflection:

When you list your dreams you must add determination and action to achieve them because what’s the whole point of writing them down if you’re not willing to pursue them. If you vision yourself to be someone in this world you aren't magically gong turn famous or whatever you want to be we need to get up and take action. Take advantage of your free time and take action to pursue your dreams when you have the chance because what if too much time passes and it’s too late already and your life will become a nightmare because you didn't take action to your visions. For example the +100 goals that I wrote can be everything I dream to be but what’s the whole point to writing them down and waiting for them to come true. Life isn't a fairy tale where your dreams will suddenly come true. Dreams come true with hard work, determination, perseverance, strength and action.

“Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records”- William A. Ward

Reflection: when it comes to adversities coming to our lives we all have a choice to let them break us and leaving us to our lowest point to give up or to be strong and overcome them. Adversities come in all sizes but the affect is the same, the pain or sorrow that it brings us will change who we are if we give it permission. We must stop letting these adversities bring us down, don’t be afraid. We need to let out the courage that we hide within us and never give up in any situation were in. We need to start breaking our adversities before they break us. Be strong and have perseverance. Adversities make us stronger.

“The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves.”-Anonymous author

Reflection: I personally agree s much with this person because we need to inspire ourselves in the things we achieve. Yes some think that outdoing others makes them feel better but it really doesn't it just makes you seem as someone that will always push others down and that’s not very nice. We need to outdo ourselves to show that were stronger than what we used to be, that we can inspire ourselves to not give up to keep going in life because we each have our story and sometimes we need to hear these words from other someone  else but the most inspiring words  come  from our own mouth. We need to strong and courageous and never give up in any situation were in. remember to outdo yourself first before you outdo others or someone outdoes you. Be stronger than the person you were yesterday.
