Food for the soul

When I feel like I am falling ill.. or training too hard... I know exactly what I must do... eat well and rest well... Proteins will help me build more muscles to replace the torn ones... Fruits and vegetables will help provide the vitamins and minerals I need and rice and carbohydrates the energy I need to train even harder the following day...

Similarly... just like the body... the mind and soul needs food too... Especially when they are feeling ill...

Positive thoughts are like Mind food.. they give us the drive and positivity we need to live happily... They are like our extra driving force.. It is so common to see a perfectly healthy man wasting his life away in negativity... It is positive thoughts that make us able to make use of a healthy body to attain our goals and expectations..

However, the most important... and most neglected part of us are often our souls.. While we concentrate on good nutrition for the body and motivational speeches for our minds.. we often neglect our souls...

We need to eat everyday right? Our body needs food every single day... In fact, it gets hungry every few hours... Similarly.. our souls need to be fed daily as well...

What is the food for the soul? God's word AKA the bible.. Of course God can speak to us through many channels and through nature and all.. but the most direct way to feed your soul is simply to read the bible and to attend church to listen to sermons.. Trust me.. While food helps strengthen your body and positive thoughts help fuel the mind... it is God's word (Jesus) that helps complete you and gives you a reason to live...

So perhaps its time for us to stop neglecting our soul's hunger... when you are hungry you need to eat.. when you falling ill.. all the more you need to eat well... It time to feed your soul...

Read the bible... My advise is to start with Mark, Matthew, Luke and John (the stories about Jesus's life on earth)... Jiayou... Your soul is hungry.. go feed it now...
