You Are What You Eat

Growing up, I always heard that reading your bible daily and being involved in church was necessary for the health of your soul. It was spiritual food. I'm seeing the truth of this more and more as I sense my own mind and will being pulled in other directions. I need to start feeding my soul what it needs again. As humans, we have the tendency to get easily distracted. We set goals, but we quickly lose sight of them and our attention is redirected to things that are more immediate. The things we fill our mind with form how we think, what we value, and how we treat others. It's important. It's paradigm-shifting stuff. The trick is to maintain the perspective that daily disciplines are for our own health, not just for the sake of doing them. We don't question eating food every day. We know we need it to live. In the same way, our soul needs food every day. Our mind needs to be constantly refocused on the things that matter—the things that are eternal. This is not a new idea, I've just been thinking about it a lot recently.
