Mind And Body
My mind
is the director
of my destiny,
but sometimes,
when I make a decision,
my body rebels.
The process of reconciling
these distinct and
diverse adversaries
takes all the stamina
of a climber of mountains
and all the wisdom
of a King Solomon.
Reconciliation
When the diverse needs of the opposing entities of mind and body are reconciled, we can then be more at peace with ourselves and make wiser decisions which will eventually affect our lives. The final decision as to who is in the ultimate control of our destiny whether our mind or our body must come from our decision-making mechanism. Whether it is going to be the more rational mind or the more emotional body is something we ourselves must decide and then be ready to accept the consequences of those decisions.
What we ultimately hope for is a mind and a body working in harmony for the benefit of our present well-being and our future happiness.
Why don’t you want to do what you know you should do?
The reason you don’t is that you’re in conflict with yourself.
Tom Hopkins
I find, by experience, that the mind and the body
are more than married for they are most intimately united.
Lord Chesterfield
