The Whole Person


Your physical self is only one part of who you are. Your spirit, your emotions, your mental status are other elements too that form who you are.

More often than not, we neglect one or two areas which leads to mediocrity. This is due to the fact that the four elements are interrelated; they form the whole person. As an example, an athlete can never win an Olympic gold medal without a focused mind (mind:mental), and supportive family or partner (heart:emotion), and strong belief (soul:spirit) of winning, and a healthy body (body:physical).

We can't nurture one element at the expense of the other. It's not "either/or", it's "and". It's not either looking after my health or meeting social obligations. It's both. It's not either reading a book or practicing meditation. It's both. That's they key!
