Your Mind 

Where would you be without it?

Your mind is another aspect of you life to keep healthy. Its allows you to be aware of what your doing and why your doing it. Without it your just as intellegent as the rest of our primate ancestors. Being social, smart and aware is key it providing for your mind.

When were not alone where generally happy right? Someone else to talk to. While I dont believe its unhealthy to talk to yourself I do believe having someone else to talk to is even better as it shows the interaction going on between to minds.

When we say smart to they street or book smart? Well, try both. Being street smart you know hgow to talk and interact with others on a basic level. However, being book smart boost the value of what your saying because, it shows you know more. So how do you go about being smart? Read books on ideology, philosophy and talk to others with people. Teach others these views open there horizons. "A healthy mind is a helpful mind."

A final way to boost the value and power of your mind is to meditate. When you meditate your just relaxing the mind letting thoughts and everything else wash over you like a waterfall. However, you can focus on one problem or focus on peace. Focusing on peace reliefs stress from your world and channels it into a more positive outlet.

Your Spirit 

That Inner Part of who you are

Your spirit its the emotions of your mind and body in one. Such a concept such as this has been questioned for quite sometime. However imagine a world without it. There would be no real happiness, no real morals and no real emotion. Essitentially we would be a computer with no rational individual thought but a immoral community based thinking. Following principles, being honest with yourself and others not to mention a belief there is a bigger plan in life than just day-to-day activities will greatly improve your soul overall.

Morals and principles its alot of what a soul is about. The human spirit knows that there are desires and temptations out there that if taken advantage of could have consequences down the road. Being disciplined and morally straight can help prevent temptation altogether. Selecting principle over preferences is a sign of a strong spirit. Even when the social consequences are big.

Honesty allows others to trust you and respect you. To be able to prove your honesty is without a doubt a great feeling it brings an inner peace. A liar would have guilt and eventually seek to repent. Ask yourself this question "Why lie in the first place, if I am going to feel guilty for it latter?" Eventually truth and honesty will be revealed and when it does it will hit hard because, of the lying.

To believe in something more than day-to-day living is a feeling that while takes away free will does say that there is a destiny for everyone what we choose to do will make getting there longer or shorter. Destiny, Deterministic Qualities of Time and life all merged with a higher order proves that you have ability to choose right or wrong to fulfill your destiny.Believing that there is something more than you is powerful and inspires you to do the right thing.
