New Beginnings

School is going but my half marathon traning is going slow! It takes a lot of dedication and hard work, but it's all worth it! I love running and swimming, but I also like sitting down and reading a book or writing stories, books, and blogs. I just love being creative and expressing myself. One of my inspirations is Michael Phelps. One of his quotes really inspired me. " So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obsticles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits." Isn't that quote inspiring? I love it! I think Michael is trying to make you belive in yourself. It did that to me! Did it do it to you???

My Quote/ Advice

Never give up! It gets you nowhere! Just try and do! The outcome will be marvelous!

My Advice

Have you made your goal, or have you just thought about your dreams coming true? Dreams have to be made into goals. You can't just have a dream and expect it to come true without doing any work. You have to work hard at it! Don't be a couch potato, be a hard worker!!!

Our Given Specialties: Making and Acheiving Goals

After a person figures out their specialties, they make a goal. Goals take a long time to acheive so you need to stay patient. Goals are something like this: Do good at 5k run next fall. That goal is easy to acheive but if you want to good, you have to work hard at it. Don't let people say stuff to make you quit your goal. It will only make you regret regret quitting later. Just make your goal and acheive it. It only takes those two simple steps. My goal will take work though. Mine is to do a half marathon on January 1, 2010. To acheive that goal I'll have to train hard. It won't be easy, but it's worth it!

Our Given Specialties

God gives us all specialties, whether or not it's running or jumping rope. Most people don't discover theirs for a long amount of time. Others figure it out quickly. Take me and my brother for instance. He has good music skills and triathlon skills. I haven't figured mine out yet though. Maybe it's writing or running. When I write I feel like I'm in my own imaginary world. When I run, I feel free like the wind. I don't know what God has planned for me quite yet, but what I do know is that God has something special planned for me. Something I'll do great at.
