But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
Welcome to day six on our journey to explore the thirty-one major reasons for failure as noted in the book "Think and Grow Rich". In this issue of Let's Talk , we will discuss Ill Health.
As you can imagine, it would be very difficult for us to thoroughly enjoy life and all of our accomplishments if we are ill. In fact, it would be difficult for us to experience certain levels of success if our body is not free of disease. Disease is a word that describes exactly what is going on in our body if we suffer with it. There is dis-ease somewhere within us.
There are many different reasons for disease, but many of them are caused by a lack of mastery and control according to Napoleon Hill. Some of the main reasons we experience disease is because we have poor eating habits. We tend to over indulge in foods that are not conducive to good health. We live our lives in such haste that everything has to be fast. Many of us will run through the drive thru and pick up a burger and fries because we don't have time to cook or we are tired from a long day and don't feel like cooking.
A day or two like this every now and then would be fine, but this becomes a lifestyle for some of us. This why a billion burgers have been served. The finger licking good food that we can have our way is not what our bodies need or want. We cannot continue to put artificial foods into our all natural body and expect it to function properly.
Another reason for disease, and one that is very powerful in the breaking down of our immune system, is negative thought patterns. We cannot continue to give way to negativity. If our body is diseased, we need to exam our mindset. How we think can be seen in the condition of our body. Negative thoughts will manifest themselves in the form of sickness and disease. In a previous post, we discussed self discipline. We cannot control every thought that pops into our head. But, we can control how long that thought takes up residence there. Let's not allow our precious real estate (our brain) to become dilapidated by negativity.
During our discussion on self discipline, we also spoke on controlling our emotions. Sex is a very powerful emotion and if not properly controlled, can cause very fatal health conditions. We must be responsible when it comes to sex, not only for ourselves, but for others as well.
Lack of proper physical exercise is also something that can cause disease. Mobility is key. We must move our body to keep the blood flowing properly. This builds and maintains muscle mass, as well as, rid our body of excess fat, toxins and stress.
Exercise is a great way to relax and relieve stress. It also allows for clear thinking so that solutions to our obstacles can be revealed unto us. Proper exercise will also promote healthy breathing. Our brain cannot function at its peak, if it lacks the oxygen it needs. Breathing properly rids our body of toxins which promotes good health.
We have just examined a few of the reasons for ill health which were mentioned in our text of study, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. We have been given another chance to begin again in 2010. Let's take full advantage of this opportunity and start our year off on the road to success.
That’s it for this issue of Let’s Talk. Join me tomorrow when we will discuss, unfavorable environmental influences during childhood.
