Get the Most from Yourself
This is the sixteenth article in a series from
the book titled Get The MOST From Yourself, by Terry Kibiloski, copyright
1996.
The human system is similar to the personal
computer system, with three major parts - the body (hardware), the mind
(software), and the spirit, or soul, (user).
We are spirits having a human experience!

To maintain the human system it's important to
understand:
- Body specialists (doctors) help maintain
our human body.
- Mind specialists (psychologists) help
maintain our human mind.
- Spirit, or soul, specialists (priests,
ministers, rabbis, etc.) teach us how to effectively use our body and mind.
The ideal teacher is the Creator of our body and mind.
If you can understand the similarity between the
computer system and the human system, you are on your way to getting the MOST
from yourself. Let's now look at some important principles.
- As the computer operator uses the hardware
and software to have a computing experience, our spirit uses the body and
mind to have a human experience
- Our overall health depends upon a
harmonious relationship between our body, mind and spirit
- Our human system seeks harmony and ease,
not dis-ease
- We are spirits having a human experience.
Last month, we focused on the power of positive
thinking. This month, we summarize many of the principles we covered over the
past several months.
Remember, our spirit controls our mind and, in
turn, our mind controls our body. This interaction requires a healthy body, mind
and spirit for us to get the MOST from ourselves.
Our body is a walking miracle with its complex
design and its natural healing ability, but it must be in good shape for its
natural healing ability to work properly. This requires the five essential
elements our body needs for good health - fresh air, good water, nourishing
food, adequate exercise, and proper rest.
Our mind is like a computer and will
consistently perform the same actions it was programmed to perform in any given
situation. It reacts very quickly to reprogramming.
Our spirit requires unconditional love and
forgiveness to soar to new heights. To successfully fly as an eagle, you must
have unconditional love as your wings, and unconditional forgiveness to
strengthen your wings. But, this is only possible if you have the willingness to
change.
So, if you are having trouble flying like an
eagle, look for blame and bitterness in your life, and replace them with love
and forgiveness. Also, change the way you think about people and events, only
allowing positive thoughts into your reality. Begin today.
The fact that our spirit controls our mind and,
in turn, our mind controls our body, is an age old principle that can be found
in the Bible, and other spiritual books, as well as in the teachings of noted
leaders. In fact, everything we teach you in this book is nothing new. They are
simply principles that have been echoed throughout the ages.
What we try to do for you is fit various
principles together to help you see the important interconnection between body,
mind and spirit, so you can make positive changes in your own life. As many of
our seminar attendees tell us, "I already knew many of the things you pointed
out, I just never realized how each one influences the other."
It is important to realize that in our human
experience, our body, mind, and spirit work as a team. If one team member is
weak, the entire experience suffers. Failure to understand this is the primary
reason so many people fail to get the MOST from themselves during this human
experience; and many times end up with unfulfilled goals and failed businesses,
relationships, and spiritual endeavors.
In business, many people let the body run down
and pay little attention to the spirit. In sports, many people fail to realize
the impact the spirit has over the mind. Even in spiritual endeavors, many
people fail to realize how influential the mind can be on their behaviors, and
how important it is to maintain their own good health. If you look at truly
successful people, who live long and happy lives, you will find a wonderful
balance between their body, mind and spirit.
It is time to get balance in your life, and get
the MOST from YOURSELF!
Much more next month.
