The Spirit is willingly but the flesh is weak, is not something limited to spiritual issue only. Pleasure and hardworking are most time two enemy that fight to take the control of the mind of men but the question is what win?
Every individual with life in his or her nostril, and functioning brain upstairs is certainly aware of what to do, where to go e.t.c but there use to be a limiting force of restriction that is invisible. For example, an average student who want to get better in his academic is aware that he need to study more, pay attention to his teacher but majority will still not do it, some even start only to quite half way and one will begin to wonder why?
Another example is the case of a businessman who want his business to grow and stand the test of time, is aware that he need not to eat all his profit with ten fingers, so as to boost his capital but it is quite unfortunate to still see such person yielding to the temptation of "buy this and buy that" with all the profit and even at times with capital and this render me speechless.
Also, a person involve in an handiwork knows he need to practice well and make enough research to be able to be the best at what he do. But such a person will still be seen spending significant quantities of his time on things which added no value to him.
Furthermore, how could we talk of a leader who while aspiring for a post, sincerely have the mind to serve his people and help the community but on getting to the position, he becomes full of ego and begin to do the exact opposite of his promise. The list is endless.
After carefully looking at all this situations, I see that the body of man is naturally please to the exact opposite of what his mind want to do. For example,
Oh! What an oxymoron? And the main issue is that, the mind can't achieve it aim without making use of the body and that is the reason for the WAR
For every man that don't want to continue to be rule by the body, the place of Resolution is inevitable. Resoluteness is the weapon a man can hive to his mind to get control over the body.
Indeed it is a war and vast number of people are losing the war to the body oh! What a tragedy? Nonetheless, few who truly embrace the weapon of unconditional Resolution with consistency are winning by continually subjecting their body to work in accord with what the mind want to achieve and as many that still join the mind league using it are assure of winning.
To end this, I will like to state clearly that nothing good come easy, the path to success is not a bed of rose that give comfort but if only one will endure, their is a winning reward at the end.
