" I Trust That My Hard Work Will Pay Off " 


Tyler Hawks is a Brigham Young University Basketball Player who has never been a talented player, but worked hard to be the best of him team. He would practice with his dad bright and early in the morning and practice the same shots over and over and over. There was times where he made 143 baskets with no misses. His hard work got him into the 2nd player named Mr.Basketball two times in a row, I guess that's a thing now. However, he was committed to church and god so when he got the opportunity to go to a mission he took it with no doubt. He was able to go to a Philippines mission for two years and become the BYU leading scorer. It is quite true that hard work pays off because all his determination got him to where he is now. 

“Only those live who do good.”

           

There might be about billions and billions of people in this world, but some are just here to be here. Have you ever heard about a quote that says “ not all that die are dead and not all that live are alive.” This quote relates to only those who do good live because you are living your life how you want it. IF you decide to go the wrong path you aren’t living at all you are just wandering around earth making those who do good do better. When you choose to live your life doing good you are making a mark in this world. You might die, but you won’t be dead because your legacy lives on to those you knew you and those who you helped in the world. You are only truly living if you decide to be a light in someone’s cloud. You have a purpose once you realize doing good is what keeps you alive.

“ Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual, well-being.”    Mr. C. S. Haymore

                 

As much as we think it is not our responsibility to take care of our mind, body, and spirit, we are the only ones that can prevent things from damaging us. If we let bad influences come between us, our spirit is not the only thing that would be affected. Once one of the three is not balanced everything falls apart. Yes, having a bad influence ruins your spiritual conscience, but it also ruins your body if you let bad influences pressure you to do harmful things to your body. No body in life is responsible for what happens to you but yourself. You make the decision of not eating but doing drugs instead,  you make the choice to cheat in a test. Little by little you are not only harming yourself but you are harming the people that love you and what to see you succeed in life. That is why if you want to benefit your body and mind you start of with doing good and taking care of yourself. We can not control what happens around us but we can control what is to become of us.
