My mind is priceless to me. With it i conjure up many ideas & thoughts. Hence the saying: "What the mind can conceive the body can achieve".

When I was younger, the body was the most important thing for me. Now......at my age, the state of the mind is top priority. Ha, ha.

I know a quadriplegic man who spends his life in a sort of rolling bed. He is of sound mind, yet he seems to be so full of life, and smiles and is happy. So, yes, the mind is more important. If one is out of one´s mind, then it does not matter what the body is like. In fact, one does not need the body when one has no mind.

We always say it is mind over matter. For me mind is more important cos a healthy mind will have a healthy body.

My mind is more important,my body has never been an issue, I know what state it is in.

In a place without law and order you need your body more than your mind. Survival of the fittest.
Even with Law if you are weak you are vunerable. You need to have both a good mind and body.

Ayiza, you have miss the mark in your answer. This is a philosophical question. The other time you claimed to be God, and Zim defended your question by labelling it philosophical, it seems he gave undue credit.

Nathi, I think my mind is more important. One answerer here has given a rather incisive answer to this. A person with some physical/body defects can still lead a "normal life" but once your mind is "defective" you are not going to live that normal life.

Never heard 'em say 'a body is a terrible thing to waste'.

Daniel I

My mind is more important as i need that to be in a good state so i can pass my A-Levels and doing other stuff once i have passed my a-levels then i might look at my body and with the extra time work on it so i maybe then try and get a girlfriend which i want to do soon, but at this present moment my mind is more important.

These can not be put into a order of precedence. They are equally important.

BODY!!!

Our mind is nothing but a sort of memory bank which is collecting information since we are born. However our body
has its own knowledge. It knows what minerals you need in which form and all. All parts of your body know their functions. But the mind often interferes thats where you start being sick.The body has the knowledge needed. Your food is converted in bones and muscles its miracle the body has certainly more wisdom than the mind, ANCIENT WISDOM, OLD WISDOM . the WISDOM OF THE WISE

Your Mind Powerful than your Body
When it comes to "starting," there is no tomorrow, only today, since when you get to tomorrow, it’s today. Live in today, take action today, and don’t wait for anything for your (new and improved) life to begin!

Forget the “it‘s summer, get ready for your bikini" crap, it’s life, get into shape for that! Mentally, emotionally, and physically conditioning ourselves for the most important event of all – life – that is what I am concerned with. So, if it is fitness you want for this summer and beyond, true and total fitness, let’s get started.

You will have to clean out the junk food – now. It’s putting excess weight on your body and numbing your mind. Sugar is disorienting and a trigger (for most of us), and any “trigger” foods, food that make you want to keep eating (chips, cookies, ice cream), must go.

If you really want to “clean house” whether you want to lose weight or not, try no sugar, no dairy for 60 days – that’ll give you an efficiently working physical body and mental acuity like you have never known.

Now, write down everything you want – don’t hold back, write it all down. This is the way to activate your dreams - think about them. Then you must do things that help you believe that they are possible, for example, cleaning out the clutter in the cupboards and starting to exercise regularly.

Now I know you say, “If I do those things, of course I’ll get fitter, it has nothing to do with my mental state.” But how many times have you tried to lose weight by dieting and exercise? Many, I am sure. And many more times the process has failed you.

You must use your mind to carry you over the "lack of belief in your ability to accomplish your goals" state that you, and most of us, are in much of the time. And if you haven’t lost the weight as quickly as you had hoped (or as fast as your friend did), don't stop. Some of us have more mental undoing to accomplish than others.

You must stay focused on your goal – and this I know can be harder than giving up sugar - but it is the one thing that we neglect to do when trying to affect a true, lasting change for ourselves – we neglect to use our minds, as well as our bodies.
So write what you are going for down, think about it often, and see it happening in your mind for you!

Peace and Happy Trails,

Raze

With respect Unathi this is a bad question.
The mind is another part of the body.
Its a system, we can't single out an item and then compare it to the rest of the system.
Thats like looking at the "Mona Lisa" and asking Which is more important the green paint or the rest of the painting.
