Educating the Body, Mind, and Character

“ Of all the work that is done, or that could be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destiny of the nation.”                                                 Theodore Roosevelt

             

        

We are always thinking about the future and what will earth look like in a few years. We think about what our country will become in a few years, because we are the future. We walk around earth thinking about all the things we can come up with to improve humanity. But in reality the only thing we can do is educate our mind, body, and character. We are the ones who need to improve, not the material evolving earth. Destiny is all parts of what we choose to become. Our character is what defines what our future holds and what we do for others. We can improve our country by lending a hand to those in need. And that is done by educating our character and what we think. The future is what we want it to be. So if we want people to stop having illnesses we start off my educating our body and eating healthy. Spiritually what helps us live is hope, hope that things will get better eventually and that is what we need to do for our country and the nation. We don’t need flying cars, or teleporters, what we need is us. We are what gets to write the future.

“ Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual, well-being.”    Mr. C. S. Haymore

                 

As much as we think it is not our responsibility to take care of our mind, body, and spirit, we are the only ones that can prevent things from damaging us. If we let bad influences come between us, our spirit is not the only thing that would be affected. Once one of the three is not balanced everything falls apart. Yes, having a bad influence ruins your spiritual conscience, but it also ruins your body if you let bad influences pressure you to do harmful things to your body. No body in life is responsible for what happens to you but yourself. You make the decision of not eating but doing drugs instead,  you make the choice to cheat in a test. Little by little you are not only harming yourself but you are harming the people that love you and what to see you succeed in life. That is why if you want to benefit your body and mind you start of with doing good and taking care of yourself. We can not control what happens around us but we can control what is to become of us.
