What is Your Lifestyle?

We all live, to a certain degree, in a cycle of sequences. We get up, we do our daily activities, and then we go to bed. However, what goes on during the day varies from person to person because we all live in our own unique world. The way of life is how you see it. Whether you see it from the viewpoint of a construction worker, a business man, a model, or even a zookeeper. But what exactly makes up someone's lifestyle and how would you label it so?

Well, everybody goes through different experiences because of what we like, don't like, desire, lust, fiend, etc. We take every step to fulfill the needs we set for ourselves because we know what we want.  For example, a construction worker is somebody who longs for manual labor, the character benefits, the health benefits, or whatever comes with the job. They go to the job site everyday to build upon something within them. Yet, how can this be considered a lifestyle?

It is considered a lifestyle because of the side effects which come from manual labor. According to the Watchtower Online Library, manual labor trains you for life, it builds character, it teaches you how to learn, and it is a sacred service written in the Bible. So the man or woman who goes to the job site isn't only doing the work for the money, but because of the lifestyle it molds.

Same thing can go for somebody who is the complete opposite, like an accountant. They wake up everyday to sit at a desk and work with numbers and money. What comes from that job could be the intellectual improvement, learning to be organized, and so on and so forth. But those qualities squeeze themselves into their life outside of the job and that is what they become. Those qualities become part of their lifestyle.

So how would you label your lifestyle? What qualities do you gain from doing what you love to do? What kind of sequence do your days consist of? Think about these questions hard because the answers to these questions are the answers to who you are. These answers describe you and what your identity entails. Have fun on your journey!:)

Life is nothing without problems

One particular topic has been on my mind lately and I didn't know how to fully express my thoughts clearly. However, due to a recent event, I was able to clear my head to understanding what it truly meant to have hard work.

Hard work isn't just the amount of energy you put into whatever you're doing. Instead, it is the amount of passion you have in getting the work done and done right! Life will throw many things in your face and it is up to you to exhibit the passion you have into your work so you can take care of those problems.

I think that one of the best ways to understanding the true meaning of hard work is by participating in a sport. Sports aren't just activities used to train and maintain the body. They are also ways to build character and uniqueness. All professionals have some of the best characteristics and people look up to them because they've learned it all through trials and tribulations. They know how it feels to get knocked down a hundred times; but they also know what it takes to get back up a hundred and one times.

All in all, keep a clear head and everything will start to make sense. Understand that by confronting your problems head on, without fear, and your chin to the sky, you'll overcome those problems and learn what it means to have character. True character.
