Becoming Aware

As limited human beings we can't be aware of everything. With all the noise, clutter, and distractions of life, wWe become aware of the things that are important to us. For example, for a mother with a baby, she hears the infants every cry. As a dog owner, I'm aware of the single scratch of my dog against the door when he wants in.

The same is true in becoming aware of life principles.

That which we focus on is that of which we become aware.

We become what we think and do. A man becomes kind by thinking kind thoughts and performing kind deeds.

A man becomes and angry man by thinking angry thoughts and acting out his anger.

A man becomes righteous by thinking rightly and acting rightly.

A man becomes a murderer by killing someone.

Part of being a man is loving your wife no matter how she is feeling, no matter if she is grouchy, no matter if you get sex when you want it or not. This is learning to love in a very true sense with genuine love. When she says "no" it is so easy to feel hurt and to even feel bitter. But as a husband one must continually put those feelings aside, throw those emotions away. If you run away, then even the little bit of good times will also be lost. In a very real sense, we husband have to be continually reaffirming, loving and kind.

Wholistic health is a very complicated (and perhaps a very simple) equation.

mental: What we think and how we think greatly affect our mental health.
physical: Our bodies need good food, proper excercise, rest, sleep....
