Hobbies Can Help Save Your Life

What if you were in a car accident, and your car was crushed all around you? What if the car started on fire while you were stuck? How would you get out? What if the only way to get out was to twist your body in such a way that allowed you to escape through a tiny opening? And let’s just say you were a contortionist. Your talent could literally save your life.John Pilmer, a new author, brings into his book, 'Green Spin', just such a situation. In his book, the main character, Jack, is taken hostage by a madman with a gun. Jack is lucky enough to have on glasses that are rigged with a camera for the local news. The police are watching the live footage. And Jack knows sign language. Talents and hobbies are an important part of our lives. Maybe they won’t save our life someday in the physical sense, like a car accident wholesale ps3 accessories or hostage situation, but I do think that hobbies and talents do help save our sanity. Everyone faces stress in life. And talents and hobbies can help relieve that stress.Talents are especially important when we are young, because it is often through such talents that we learn about ourselves and what we want to become. Each person is born with certain God-given talents and abilities that make them who they are. Some have the ability to reason and learn, while others the talent to care. As we take the opportunity to develop Syma S105G our talents and cultivate what makes us special, we can make the most of our short lives.Hobbies also help to save us in this life, though for most of us, it is a figurative saving. In 'Green Spin', Jack decides to learn sign language because his brother is deaf, and that hobby helps him pass information to police in a dire situation. For Jack, sign language has a direct affect on his physical well being. However, hobbies for the rest of us have a different affect, on something not as noticeable, but possibly more important: our mental health. When people pick up hobbies, they are happier. When people find something that allows them to use their talents and do something they enjoy, it has a great benefit on their mental state. For some it is golf. For others it is stamp collecting. And still others enjoy reading or bird watching. Above all, though, I think the most important influence that our talents and hobbies can have in this life is wholesale handbags the capacity such things give us to be a benefit to others. I personally have been greatly blessed as people have used their talents or hobbies to do something for me that I couldn’t do for myself. In that case, someone else’s talents helped to save a piece of my life.I think it is extremely important to cultivate those talents and hobbies that we have. They may not save our lives in an immediate, physical way, like with Jack in ‘Green Spin,’ or the contortionist stuck in a burning car. But our talents and hobbies may do much to save us in our mental well being and our ability to bless the lives of those around us, and be blessed by the talents and hobbies of them.
