Several years ago I learned that the human being is comprised of 4 parts - Body / Soul / Mind / Spirit, and that in order for us to be balanced, harmonious, content, powerful, and at peace we need to keep all 4 connected. At the time this information was shared with me I couldn’t have been any more disconnected from my mind and more notably my spirit. For me it was all about the physical -my ego had basically taken over my life - I was motivated by vanity - I worked out so I would like what I saw in the mirror and would better attract the opposite sex - I was in full speed pursuit of fame, fortune, and everything that comes with it - expensive cars, fast woman, wild parties, ceaseless entertainment, and the never ending vacation - I was your quintessential pleasure seeker - Despite having attained many of the aforementioned pursuits the irony of it all was that I was miserable - depressed and completely disgusted with the person I had become. There was good news that came with learning why/how this was happening - if I wanted to I could do something to change my situation and the way I was feeling.
What needed to change or stop was the way I had been neglecting my spirit. Soon after the lesson there was more good news - it wasn’t going to be a difficult thing to do. All I needed to do was make some small adjustments on how I thought about life - the who, what, where questions needed to be asked - who am I? - what’s my purpose? - where do I go when I leave this earth? When we begin our search for the answers to these questions that’s how we call on our spirit which will direct us to the actions that will promote inner peace and happiness. I wish you all a safe and enlightening journey.
