he is right about the lifestyle changing the inner stuff .. i also noticed this … i think charity/donations in particular … i would think that in general in our culture too much emphasis is put on emotions, on having correct emotions or not having wrong ones … it seems that practicing right lifestyle can do more to emotions than all this emotionally intelligent chatter
I’ve always thought of religion, especially Islam as a way of life - a lifestyle - more than it is just a belief. The challenge is finding the meaning in it and incorporating it in a way which makes a person better. Non-religiously inspired healthy lifestyle changes can also make a significant positive impact on people as we usually witness on TV shows like Oprah.
