Commit to Lifelong Learning
"perpetuam uitae doctrina!"
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever." Mahatma Gandhi.
Your lifelong-learning journey will be much more enjoyable and fruitful if you are healthy
Take care of your body.
The human being is a well-designed mosaic of inter-related biological systems. The human body, mind and spirit perform optimally when all of these systems are working in harmony and balance.
It is important that we take care of our body, mind and spirit. An holistic view of our health gives us the best chance of optimizing our sense of wellbeing.
Your lifelong-learning journey will certainly be more pleasant and productive if you are in reasonable mental and physical health.
As human beings, we all hope to avoid falling ill, either mentally or physically. However, since we live in a socially and industrially complex world, we often have challenges maintaining good mental and physical health, while, at the same time, weathering the storms of life. So, it is incumbent on all of us, that we put some deliberate effort into ensuring that our body, mind and spirit are healthy and in balance.
Taking care of our physical health is a continuous process which requires that we put some daily effort into ensuring that we eat a healthy diet, exercise, get adequate sleep, while not neglecting our mental and spiritual health.
Since all systems in our body are inter-related whe should take an holistic approach to our health.
Our mind and body are intimately related to each other. One of the first steps towards our achievement of good mental health is a strong and steady movement towards good physical health. The brain is a physical organ from which "mind" emmanates. So, working towards a physically healthy brain, lays the foundation for the achievement of a healthy and balanced "mind".
According to Dr. Maya Spencer of the Royal College of Psychiatrists:
"Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.
Spirituality means knowing that our lives have significance in a context beyond a mundane everyday existence at the level of biological needs that drive selfishness and aggression. It means knowing that we are a significant part of a purposeful unfolding of Life in our universe.
Spirituality involves exploring certain universal themes – love, compassion, altruism, life after death, wisdom and truth, with the knowledge that some people such as saints or enlightened individuals have achieved and manifested higher levels of development than the ordinary person. Aspiring to manifest the attributes of such inspirational examples often becomes an important part of the journey through life for spiritually inclined people."
Somewhere within the average human being, there seems to be a spiritual component of self which yearns to be nurtured.
