Keeping Fit

GAY BRYANT

Am I fit enough?

This is a question many people ask themselves. Armchair viewers and sports spectators alike are exhilarated by watching world athletes smash record after record—achieving what would seem to be the impossible. Much importance is attributed to physical fitness, and we are led to believe that if only our own bodies were as supple as those of the superstars we admire, our futures might be brighter and life would be more rewarding.

But is physical fitness enough? It is common sense to most of us to take natural exercise and follow a normal diet. However, no matter how fit and responsive our bodies may become, our minds may still remain apathetic and lazy. In today's demanding society there is a need for the mentally fit—for the thinker who is mentally alert enough to deal with fear and modern-day stresses. If as much time were given to keeping our minds exercised by well-ordered thinking based on divine Principle as is given to physical training and well-being, the world would undergo a change for the better.
