In today’s society people aim to do nothing. Every Monday everyone talks about their weekend and if you listen closely, the “good weekends” are usually the most boring. I’ve seen this most prominently with parents. They love to “relax”. It’s kind of funny to me how people love to do nothing but they always want more time. As a “kid” I guess I don’t “understand” but I honestly can’t comprehend why anyone would want to be…so lifeless. Today in church they suggested that we should all strive to be like athletes. Athletes train hard and have incredible self-discipline. I thought it was an excellent idea. Imagine if everyone put as much effort into everything they do as athletes do in a race! But that’s the problem isn’t it. Many people argue that athletes are rewarded for their hard work. Athletes get prizes and fame. Well, is that what its about? Rewards? Well, in any case, I would love to see a world where people saw their personal life as their training their public life as their race.
