From the mind of critic: “When our minds say we can do something but our body vehemently disagrees, do we force action? Do we plow forward no matter how much pain we’re in, because it makes our mind healthier, which in turn feeds our soul? Do we hold off and rest, respecting our body so our pain subsides, which in turn makes our mind work better because we’re able to think clearly? Do we listen to our heart and do what we can when we can, because doing something is always better than doing nothing? We’ve all been infused with the advice that if we follow our heart, we’ll be spiritually satisfied. That if we do what we’re truly meant to do, we’ll live a life that’s anything but empty, feeling satisfied and fulfilled by allowing our soul to soar higher than we thought possible. Issues arise, when our body doesn’t allow this natural forward progression to commence. Once we realize progress could be moving so slow, a snails pace would seem like a top fuel dragster, but as long as it’s moving in the right direction that’s all that matters, we’ll see that even if pain levels prevent many things from happening at the speed our mind commands to grow our emotional well-being, we can still do some things; maybe at a painfully slow rate, but it’s always better to get somewhere slow than not at all. I am in a lot of pain personally as I write this, but the knowledge of doing something to feed my soul instead of lying helplessly on my couch, is slowly but surely getting me back to where my mind wants me to be, and where my soul needs me to be. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but so are opportunities to grow and learn. There is always something to do, we just have to ask our soul what. Some action is always better than no action, just ask MLK. Gratitude for everything we have, even the things we don’t like, will make adversity that much easier to overcome.”
