"There is an Indian proverb or axiom that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person."-Rumor Godden in "A House with Four Rooms."

Most of us tend to latch onto one part of ourselves to develop it alone and that is where our attention goes.  Even as babies develop, they tend to concentrate on one area of development and then move on from there.  With one skill level stronger until moving on.  But we need to keep ourselves whole.  We need to be complete and that means keeping physically healthy, as much as mentally capable, as much as emotionally complete, as much as spiritually centered. We can't neglect one part of who we are or we can not become what we were meant to be.  We have a choice to be whole.  Peace.
