09 | Personal Stagnation

Human nature is four dimensional—body, mind, heart, and spirit. Consider the differences and fruits of the two approaches:

BODY

Cultural tendency: maintain lifestyle; treat health problems with surgery and medication.
Principle: prevent diseases and problems by aligning lifestyle to be in harmony with established, universally accepted
principles of health.

MIND

Culture: watch television, “entertain me.”
Principle: read broadly and deeply, continuous education.

HEART

Culture: use relationships with others to forward your personal, selfish interests.
Principle: deep, respectful listening and serving others brings greatest fulfillment and joy.

SPIRIT

Culture: succumb to growing secularism and cynicism.
Principle: recognize that the source of our basic need for meaning and of the positive things we seek in life is principles—
which natural laws I personally believe have their source in God.
