About This Quote

People sometimes say, “My mind is in action!” But what does that mean? It means the mind is in action, but not physically in action. Think about it. When you are in action, are your feet making contact with the ground? No! When you are thinking about an activity that requires physical effort, are your hands moving? No! So where do your mind and body meet when you are involved in an activity that requires both strength and mental power? The brain! The brain is where the mind is in action.
