I love it when this happens. I need to be somewhere in 15 minutes that is 11 minutes away without traffic. I’m all set to go, however, my new puppy does not seem to want to pee. I am walking back and forth to all the ‘hot-spots’ my puppy usually frequents around my community, hoping to see her squat.
‘Make a pee-pee. Come on girl.’
She continues to sniff for the perfect spot unaware of my urgency. If she actually goes in the next few minutes, I should be able to make it on time. Ever since I was younger, I can not tolerate being late. It’s probably the way I was raised, but as soon as a time approaches that I said I would be somewhere, I start to sweat. Call it a personal challenge, lunacy, or whatever you wish, but I have to be on time.

In Part 1 of this series, I wrote about how the mind and body balance one another to form a spirit. Part 2 took a deeper look into how the spirit works. We looked at how your mind & body interact together, and how that affects your ability to achieve your goals. In the final part, I am going to talk about the power of thoughts.
Thoughts are the fuel for the brain.
The brain controls the body. Therefore that means your thoughts indirectly affect your body, which affects your actions, and then obviously, your life. This power of perception is severely underrated in my humble opinion. People just don’t realize that their perception plays a MAJOR part in the outcome of their life. That’s why it is so important to be aware of exactly how it affects you.

If you are not a fan of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), or the UFC, then you probably have never heard of Lyoto ‘the Dragon’ Machida. However, you do not have to be a fan to appreciate his story. He is a wonderful example of the unlimited power of the mind, and I learned a lot about the human spirit from the story of his life. Here is a brief synopsis of his background from Wikipedia…
Lyoto Carvalho Machida (born May 30, 1978) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial arts fighter. Son of a Japanese-Brazilian Shotokan Karate master Yoshizo Machida, Lyoto is a rising star in MMA. He is currently ranked as the #3 light heavyweight fighter in the world by Sherdog.

Have you ever thought so much about life after death that you got to the point of internally debating whether or not to kill an annoying insect? I mean, really thought about if it is wrong, or whether Karma, or God, or whatever will haunt you because of this action? You want to do it, but you feel guilty.
Well, right in my garage, I have a fly that is annoying the hell out of me as I write. I desperately want to smash it against the wall, but I just feel like taking any life is not right. I mean it is only an insect. It does not know any better. Why should I be the judge of whether it lives or dies?

@YinVsYang we always write about the power of the spirit. Well, tonight, I learned a little more about the spirit world than I ever have before. As a matter of fact, I was completely and utterly moved by a story my mother told me. It really got me thinking afterward about all sorts of stuff.
So I figured I would share.
My mother has owned a Nursery School for almost 18 years. She has had many wonderful Teachers and Aids over the years that I have gotten to meet. One of those was a woman named Jean, who also happened to have two daughters I went to high school with. Well, sadly, a few months ago, Jean died of cancer in her fifties, leaving behind her two daughters, a husband, and her own mother. Being that she was so young, it was obviously very hard on the family.
