"Many people are alive but never touch the Miracle of being alive," Thich Nhat Han says this in an Interview with Oprah Winfrey. I am deeply intrigued by Buddhist monks and their profound serenity. Their way of living inspires me. A study comes to mind when I contemplate this interview. The study depicts a monk and his ability to alter his internal body temperature in order to spend the night in a freezing cave. To me this is absolutely impeccable. It just reaffirms the impact that our thoughts space has on the physiology of our body. It is so imperative to be conscious of our thoughts because they truly mold who become as human beings. We have the ability to change our world through our thoughts. In fact you can change your world within this next sentence if you really truly desired too. Desire is what truly motivates us as human beings. We desire things in this world whether it be the desire for another being or the desire to better ourselves and our lives. Realistically we should have the desire to internally change and live better because external gratification is never sustainable. As human beings we are intelligent creatures, whether or not we use this intellect is personal choice. We have logic and we have emotion. There is an old adage that goes logic over emotion. Typically an intelligent human being functions with logic over emotion and an individual functioning at a lower level of consciousness uses emotion over logic. Be conscious of this simple fact and break this inferior behavior. Constantly strive to better yourself with each new day. Grow like a flower in nature so you may blossom into the beautiful bright soul that you were destined to be.
