DICK BUTKUS DAY
MIND

What are your thoughts?
BONUS: McKayla Maroney 1995
“I ran on a treadmill to get back the flow of my runs; my rhythm was way off. I also rode the bike because doing so put less pressure on my joints. I also did gymnastic-centric moves like jumping on a mat to work on my balance and focused on my flexibility.”
*If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, get back on track like Maroney did. Don’t act like you’re not impressed.
SOUL
Donny Osmond 1957
“My faith also really helped me, though for a time, I wondered why my prayers were not being answered. I have come to know that God gives each of us challenges to overcome, maybe to keep us humble and learn to rely on the love and forgiveness of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It has also become clear to me that a part of the divine plan is to help us grow, to become stronger, which, of course is facilitated by the challenges we face.”
*How did you use the challenges of today to grow and become stronger?
God is giving you challenges to keep you humble- rely on the love and forgiveness of your Savior.
