Calling all Soccer Addicts and television

What else could you have been doing instead? Maybe reading one of those books that you thought was so interesting when you purchased it but have yet to crack it open. Did you know that the average American reads one book per year? Maybe you could have begun or increased your exercise program. Over 60% of American adults are not regularly active. Twelve to sixteen ounce curls do count. nfl jerseys I am not trying to make you feel bad about yourself. We can all utilize our time more wisely. The point is that it is easy to take the passive role and watch television. Here is the most worrisome statistic, the average American watches television 4 hours and 35 minutes a day (or 1,672 hours a year). That equates to 41.8 forty-hour workweeks. Can you even begin to imagine what you could learn, accomplish or enjoy in just half of that time.
One of my favorite statements that I read a few years back is that people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year but underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade. I am finding this to be very true if you work towards your goals every day, even if only for 10 minutes a day.
It is difficult to sum up our purpose as human individuals but one good answer is that we should try and live up to our human potential. To do this requires activity on our part. You must make an effort at every opportunity to improve in all areas of our life. You cannot live up to your potential if you take a passive role in life.
I was listening to Hillary Clinton’s autobiography “A Living History” recently. A person asked Mrs. authentic nfl jerseys Clinton how she managed to get up in the morning. This was shortly after her husband’s infidelity incident. Mrs. Clinton answered that she felt she needed to help make our society a better place to live because she had seen so much disease, poverty, and injustice that she knew we as a society could do better. No matter what your opinion of Mrs. Clinton this was a noble answer to a simple but insightful question.
Why do you bother to get up in the morning? The reason needs to be more than to go to work in return for income to the pay the bills so when you finally get a moment to do what you would most like to do that you turn on the television to watch football or any other passive, mindless programming. Please do not misinterpret me. I enjoy watching a football game like many however it comes back to the virtue of temperance (moderation or balance). cheap nfl jerseys There is a time for leisure and relaxation but do not overindulge. If you do, you are neglecting some other area of your life that is limiting your potential and will most likely cause you pain and regret at some point in your life.
