In The Seven Habit of Highly Effective People, Steven R Covey in talking about working out states that all the growth in muscles is seen in the last few reps. It is when the nerve endings register the pain and send the signal for muscle to regrow, usually within 48 hours.

The same goes for work and enduring. Many times we give up just before we can break through. It may be a difficult homework assignment, or a work assignment, but when we push through the worst times that is when we can come out on top.

This video shows this point in action. It is of the 2010 NCAA 133 pound wrestling championship. Jason Ness trailed Daniel Dennis the entire match. Rather than give up and admit defeat he pushes through the pain and fatigue he is feeling and makes a move at the end of the match.

Watch as Jason Ness doesn’t give up, but pushes through and wins the NCAA wrestling championship. (You can watch from 3:30 on for the best action).

I can’t fish. I once was fishing off a dock and when I reeled the line in there was a crawdad attached to my hook… but then he feel off. I’ve caught nothing since. The art of fishing is hard but imagine trying to do it without arms or legs. That is what Clay Dyer does, and he is good at it!

He was born without arms or legs, and only a small stump on his left arm. Despite these limitations he has not just learned how to fish but how to do it well. So well that he is on the professional tour.

His brother was asked if he could give him one thing what he would want, this was his response:

“The obvious answer would be arms and legs, but he wouldn’t want that… It’s probably the last thing he wants.”

Says his mom:

“He talks about having a heart, soul, and mind… That that’s all you need. He says he has everything he needs.”

This is the story of the most inspirational fisherman!

What is the real meaning of Easter? For some it might be watching the kids get easter eggs, for others it might simply be being with their families, it could even just be a holiday for many. For Christians it is a commemoration of the greatest event ever recorded, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I am posting about this day because it represents all that is important to me. I know that after going through this life and the ups and downs it has brought and will bring, I am going to die. I know that death will be a sort of birth, an awakening even. I will wake up to reality and see things that I could not see with my eyes. Sometime after that death I will even be resurrected and will meet my Maker.

All this because on the first Easter Jesus Christ overcame death through living a perfect life. That is the real meaning of Easter.

Christ called Apostles when he lived and he continues to call Apostles these days. This is what they have to say about the real meaning of Easter:

I apologize for not posting more often! Since it’s been so long I’m gonna post a great video called “We Are the World 25″. It is a video of dozens of famous artists all singing “We are the World” by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richey, in support of Haiti.

We are the World 25 is an amazing video that shows the power of music in moving us!

Hans Smith is a BYU-Idaho student with cerebral palsy and a huge fan of MLB The Show 2010. He recently completed a season in MLB The Show 2009 and sent Sony a thank you letter simply for allowing him the chance to feel like he was actually playing the game. He explained that it felt so real playing and just wanted to tell them that the game was more than just game to him. He never thought he would hear back from them, but they contacted him! Not only were they touched by his story, they wanted him to be a part of MLB the Show 2010! In essence they made playing baseball for him reality with their virtual reality.

This is an incredibly touching video and shows how one persons dreams were brought to pass by some caring businessmen. Although Hans Smith’s cerebral palsy limits him in some things he can do, MLB The Show 2010 has made him feel like he has no disabilities at all.

Enjoy!
