Healthy Mind, Body & Spirit

Words have the power to give life or death. Words therefore must be used carefully and in all instance should be to give life. All of use are growing older by the day and going nearer towards death. Use words then to give life and delay that process of death.

How many of us take the effort to think first before we say some words to others? Words once spoken can never be retracted. Be careful then of the words you want to say to others.

I always wanted to journal my life with words. Now, I pray that I’ll will be consistent in doing so in this blog.

Each one of us has desires. That’s a beautiful gift that God has given to us. Along with it, we are also given a freewill, the factor that governs our desires.

Yet, many people are afraid of the word desires. It has bad and negative connotation… desires means bad and immoral desires. No doubt that most of us are not holy or perfect morally, but a man who can control his desires is more powerful than the whole battalion of soldiers.
I battle for control over my desires every day. It is a constant battle. Either I control my desires or it controls me.

Buddhism teaches us to try to get rid of our desires. I think that is a losing man’s principle. It is the same as saying that if you cannot control something, you must get rid of it. What if I can’t control my wife, can I get rid of it? What about my children, my parents, my siblings etc. Would it be better if we learn how to control our desires.
