Tell me what do you know about fitness? I guess when you hear the word “fitness”, you think only about physical fitness. But being a fit person does not mean to be physically fit only. It means lot more than that. For example, say you can’t handle mental pressure which you should easily handle. Should you think yourself fit? I don’t think so. To be fully fit, a person needs to be fit in 3 ways:
1. Physically
2. Mentally
3. Spiritually
Let’s know about them a little bit more deeply.
1. Physical fitness:
Physical fitness means the condition of being physically strong and healthy. So when you are a physically fit person you will be stronger with more endurance and stamina. You will be able to do more physically challenging works more easily than an unfit person. You will feel more energetic all day long.
2. Mental fitness:
Mental fitness means the condition of being healthy mentally. So when you are mentally fit you will be able to control your emotions more easily, you will be able to cope up with stresses more easily, you will feel more enthusiasm within you, you will feel more mental satisfaction than a mentally unfit person.
3. Spiritual Fitness:
Spiritual fitness means the fitness of spirit. This fitness is related to your honesty and judgment of good and evil. So if you are a spiritually fit person you will be a good and honest person. You will understand what is good and what is evil. You will have a voice in your head which will tell you what is wrong and what is right.
To get the complete happiness in your life you have to be fit in every way. You can’t be happy if you only have physical fitness. You can’t be happy if you only have mental fitness. You can’t be happy if you have both physical and mental happiness but not spiritual happiness. Ok you can argue with me about this. You can say that you don’t need spiritual fitness to be happy. You can be happy if you have physical and mental fitness only.But surely there will be unhappiness deep inside of you. As a matter of fact, each type of fitness is complementary to others.
I think spiritual fitness is harder to achieve than those two. Because the devil inside of us is trying every moment of 24/7 to deviate you from the true path. Before it is getting too religious i think i should stop now. The key point is you have to be really devoted to achieve spiritual fitness. But it is definitely achievable if you have the true passion to reach your goal.
The rest of the two, physical and mental fitness are easier to achieve. The most important thing you will need is devotion to achieve them. If you sincerely try you will achieve them without a doubt.
Try to achieve every kind of fitness. In future i will post about achieving both physical and mental fitness. Till then take care of yourself.
To your success and happiness.
