The Battle between Body and Spirit

There is a battle going on everyday that begins in the morning and doesn’t end till you fall asleep, a deep sleep. I’m talking about the inner struggle between your body and spirit. This subject has been talked about since humans learned to communicate.
I have been the type of person that goes with the flow. I try to do the right things, I obey the laws and for the most part have been raised with good morals and my character is something that I am very proud of. My friends would say they enjoy my company and that I would do what I could to help them if needed.
Lately, I have been trying to better myself because I want to travel the road that is the most difficult. Why? Because I have heard that this is the road that will have the most reward. The first hurdle I faced was my beliefs. I had doubts that I could do it. My second hurdle was I had to face fears I never had to face before. The hard road you have to get out of your comfort zone. To help my personal development, I began reading.
I found that my spirit that wants to change the world is getting held back by my body that wants to relax. Every time I want to break my own conformity my body resists. Whenever I get a thought about exercise my body says oh the pain, you can’t do it. Whenever I get a thought about an opportunity that could change my life for the better, my body says oh that sounds like a lot of work, oh the rejection, oh I don’t know if I can take that failure right now.
Our spirit commands the body; our spirit is the life energy that makes us different than the any other being on the planet. My spirit was trapped in my body not allowing any change, not allowing any commitment to anything that would take away any free time to chill. Until I learned to command my subconscious put my thoughts and ideas into play and to command my body to do my will. My spirit is the same energy that powered great inventors to create the world the way it is today, that inspired great musicians and artists create master pieces. We all have abilities that lay dormant because we allow our bodies to control our lives instead of allowing our spirit’s to command our destinies.
