Your Body – a Precious and Perfect Gift

Daily writing prompt

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

View all responses

For me, “hard work” means physical work. Hard, physical work can make you feel fulfilled because you are using your body, and your body is the most precious and perfect gift you will ever own. It feels good to use my muscles and to bend and reach when I work. Sometimes I am surprised at how strong I am, even now, and that is a good feeling. It is easy to tell yourself that a task is too physically demanding for you, and you may be right, but you miss an opportunity to feel good about yourself if you give up too easily. It can be a big mental boost to accomplish something physically challenging.

Even if you have physical challenges, you still have a body that can do at least some of your bidding. It can carry, create, build, cook, hug, love, or propel you forward. Appreciate your wonderful body. It is such an incredible gift!
