The Soul and Body

What do the soul and body have to do with each other? A lot. 

First what is our soul? We can easily identify what our body is. It's our physical self. It's our muscles, our limbs, our bones. Our soul is our mind, will, and emotions. Our soul is our character, our feelings, our intellect. And the two have so much in common. 

Let's take working out for example. When we are nearing the end of a tough workout, our body is fatigued, gassed, and ready to give up. Ready to stop. However our body may still have something left in the tank. That is where our soul comes in. Our mind can communicate to our body to push through those last few reps or to hold that sprint for just another 10 seconds, to push through and finish our workout. 

It is in moments such as those where our soul and body work in harmony. If there is a major disconnect between the two, then we are leaving a lot of stones unturned. There are workouts that aren't completed, or never started. There are tasks that don't get done. There are projects we are supposed to complete today that we tell ourselves can wait until tomorrow.

We must train our soul to to be strong and diligent. How? 

Through prayer, through meditation, through reflection. Through deciding to make a choice that today is going to be better than yesterday. That today you will be greater than you were yesterday. 

That's how. 

​Be Greater!
