Why I Like Wrestling?

Why I like wrestling?

There are many reasons why I like wrestling. One is the strength wherewith the wrestler lifts up his opponent to the air and throws him outside the ring. And he does it with ease as if he lifts a piece of paper.

I like wrestling very much. I started liking this sport the very day I saw it on TV. I remember watching it every Wednesday night, and I did not want to miss a single show. I was an avid fan of Steamboat, and of course of some world champions, though they are haughty  and cruel sometimes.

Wrestling is good for the body when done properly. It does not only develops skill but strength and stamina too. Like the objective of all martial arts, it develops discipline,   patience, and kindness when dealing with  co-wrestlers. It teaches one to accept defeat, and to be humble when winning the game.

Most adults like wrestling too. Children are especially fascinated by wrestling. It’s one of the many good antidote against vices such as gambling, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Let your kids develop strength, stamina, and discipline. Let them learn the skills of wrestling. Support them in school when they choose Wrestling as their elective subject in Physical Education. Provide them the necessary equipment and gears for wrestling. You can buy them discount wrestling shoes in some sport stores. They also have wrestling shoes for sale during the holidays.

Look for cheap wrestling shoes yet durable and of good quality, and save more money. This is best done during clearance sale.You can also avail of the free shipping and delivery which some of these sport stores offer.

New Year's Resolutions

resolveAre New Year’s resolutions really necessary? Are these lists of dos and don’ts really needed in discarding our bad habits? Is there power in it to change us for the better?

Most people make their New Year’s resolutions days or months before the new year. Some make long lists, and others have only three or four.

Lists are our guides or reminders. They ought to be followed, but not compulsory. If you can follow your list, it is very fine. But if you cannot follow it, it is still fine – there are  still many new years to make resolutions.

The making of new year’s resolutions is a sign of our acceptance that we do have defects in our character, and our desire to correct them is the obvious manifestation of our concern for people around us. We want to change because of our families, loved ones and friends.

But why do we make resolutions on new year’s eve only? Can we not make a resolution on any day of the year?

Indeed, in most cases, new year’s resolutions are just new year’s resolutions. After the new year’s eve, it is forgotten and gone.

Do people purposely forget their resolutions, or is it really hard to follow them? When resolutions are  hard to follow, people tend to forget them very soon. For what is the use of wasting time in pursuing them if you think that you cannot make it? So we forget them and condone  our weakness by comparing ourselves to the many who had similarly failed to fulfill their resolutions. It is a better attitude to condone and forgive yourself of having been unable to fulfill your resolutions than to blame yourself and be bitter in life. But it is much better to be able to disciplined yourself and be the master of your destiny.

The will, determination and discipline are  the keys to fulfilled new year’s resolutions. Any one of these can do, but the best result is achieved quickly and effectively when they are used together.

To be able to control ourselves  during times of temptations, such as to forget outright our resolutions when we see them unattainable, is a function of our brain, specifically the frontal lobe. People who have no temperance in eating and drinking have defective frontal lobes. And you might be interested to know what causes it.

Our brain’s frontal lobe is the center of wisdom, conscience, will, and spirituality. It is damaged by flesh meat eating, milk and sugar mixture, caffeine, nicotine, excitotoxins, and other toxic substances that we get from all processed foods or junk foods. Watching television for long hours, and rock music can also destroy our frontal lobes.

So, it is like a vicious cycle. If we cannot control our appetites, we damage our frontal lobes, and we become less spiritual. When our spirituality is weak, we are unable to choose what is  good and what is evil, and it will be hard for us to know if our characters are within the bounds of good morals. Remember, in making our lists of new year’s resolutions, we need to know what are our bad traits that we should discard. Granted that we are able to make the list honestly, we need our will to accomplish them. But an impaired frontal lobe results in impaired will as well. And without the will, we cannot accomplish anything.
