You must arrive at that truth authentically and within your being. If you are a praying man, then you should seek God’s help in finding your way through life.
A strong spirit
We are not only mind and body. We are also spiritual beings. By maintaining a healthy spirit through positive connections, prayer and meditation we can stay in balance.
