King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Importance of Mental & Spiritual Activities

We human beings are subject to the same set of physical & natural laws as the rest of the world, & due to our gift of consciousness (self awareness) & the ability to choose our actions (choice and free will), we are further subject to these laws on a deeper, spiritual level. Inactivity of the body yields obvious results; atrophy, obesity etc. So do we become stagnant of mind & spirit through mental & spiritual inactivity. That's the reason why we need time for thinking & reflection, time for contemplation & devotion.

"We must be aware that nothing in this world holds stasis, but is constantly in motion, either growing or disintegrating. The mind and spirit are not excluded from these Laws. We must activate our mind and spirit to paint our dreams in vibrant color through visualisation and conversation, embellish your desires with fragrances, music or any image that would enhance those dreams. There is no such thing as over dreaming so long as you are continuing to follow through with intelligent plans and physical action. Manifest your dreams through activity of the mind, spirit and body and you will experience an abundance beyond belief."
- John Kanary

"Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind."
-Leonardo Da Vinci
