I recall as young girl obnoxiously and proudly answering my grandpas inquiry about what I’d look for in a future partner. It came to me quickly and all at once with an approving nod and grin, I declared “Two things grandpa: muscles and morals…muscles and morals.”

This phrase has been thrown around throughout my lifetime as a joke and has also served as tearful young Hannah reminder during not so favorable dating decisions to  remember the importance of muscles and morals. At a deeper level, muscles and morals are central to everything I aim to embody in myself. 

Above any partner, muscles and morals are important for all the spectrums of my life. “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” Physical training has always been a major part of my life which has served to foster opportunities to build my character. While we exercise our physical muscles in the gym and for sport, we also exercise our faith muscles in many similar ways. 

My own passion to exhibit strength through gymnastics first, then bodybuilding, and even in coaching athletes serves to foster character in our lives by exhibiting strength in the emotional capacity. In this life we need: courage, dependability, diligence, competitiveness, decisiveness, grit, grace, long-suffering, work-ethic, integrity, empathy, compassion, loving-kindness, endurance, excellence, ethics, purity… I could go on. Our virtue systems make up that which is our moral code. And though we fall short, (I have many times) we must always remember the standard to which we are called, dust our selves off, straighten our crown, and walk in a manner worthy of our call: to be strong and never give up… in other words to have muscles and morals in all capacities of life.
