What is best in life?

Let me ask you. What is best in life? Some will say a big house, a nice car, and a pretty wife. Others might be in nirvana with their family, and a small back yard. Finally, some delve deep into their vices and lose themselves to it. I personally have 2 answers. "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women," says Conan the Barbarian. My answer is a little more comprehensive. What is best in life is control. Control over your emotions, spirit, environment, mind, and body!

What does it mean to be in control?

Mentally you must be knowledgeable and quick. Additionally, your mind initiates everything. An easy way to think about it is your computer. You should always be seeking to upgrade your processor, your hard drive, and your memory. You must be emotionally stable. To be resilient and bounce back from adversity. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Spiritual health is something that a lot of people can get muddled in. Spirit is resolve and focus as well as moral beliefs. Whatever your idiom of bolstering faith is, from being self confident and focused to acknowledging a greater power, you must decide.

Environmental dominance requires knowledge, interaction and service. You must know your surroundings and how to interact with it. This includes the social dynamics of daily living. What you put into your environment, you should receive. You should also be able to survive in different environments given nothing, be it in combat, politics, or the ocean. Finally, you are who you associate with. Your tribe as some would say is there to support you when you are down, or push you onto greater heights. Surround yourself with people who feed off of eachother instead of only feeding on you.

Physical health, or what this blog's primary concern is, is one of the most important things. Your body is the vehicle which your traverse this world. You need to put fuel in it, empty exhaust, and it does work. The body is connected in other ways to everything else we do. Everythign is connected, and most things do not stand alone. What is the body without a mind or spirit...well it is nothing useful unless you want to make zombies. You must be strong, agile, and robust to be fit. To be healthy is an entirely different thing involving nutrition and recovery.

Long story short: what is best in life? To have a resolved spirit, quick and knowledgeable mind, controlled and benficial emotions, a mutually beneficial relationship with your environment and the other people in it, and a conditioned body. These things will allow you "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!"
