The Power of One: Your Body is a Temple

Dream Catch Me: Song of the Week… Listen and get inspired..

Today’s inspirational video message:

Your Body is a temple

You only get one and you need to take care of your body temple. Sport is a great way to do that, to keep active and get involved in a community.

With anything the first step is the hardest but you just have to start somewhere. Start and build some momentum. Caz and Craig are currently whipping our body temples into shape with Jillian Micheal’s 30 day shred. We prefer to play sport and exercise in nature but it’s a little cold for that now.

We understand though that the body is a temple and to look after yourself, you need to first get conditioned. Not just physically but mentally. Realize that the mind is the athlete and the body is just the physical means to perform the activity. This the Power of One working to help you push through barriers, realize what you are capable of and get you in peak physical condition.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay is my favorite book. I’ve read it over and over again and I still learn so many golden nuggets every time. It’s a fictional story of a young boy, Peekay, growing up in Apartheid Africa and his quest to become the welterweight champion of the world as well as his struggles to rid his country of apartheid. It’s a beautiful story of hope and courage; a book of immense inspiration, friendship, overcoming obstacles and self discovery.

Here is an inspirational quote about the Power of One:

The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself, often well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The mind is the athlete; the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further or box better. Hoppie’s dictum to me: ‘First with the head and then with the heart,’ was more than simply mixing brains with guts. It means thinking well beyond the powers of normal concentration and then daring your courage to follow your thoughts.
