No one builds a reputation on what they are gonna do.

Imagine two people talking about us and one says to the other:

“So-and-so really takes care of their health”.

And the other person says:

“Pfffftttt, seriously? You’re kidding right?”

No one builds a legacy on what they are gonna do either.

This prompts a simple question:

Are we an example or a warning?

If not now, when?

This keeps some of us going each day we feel like quitting.

Time.

Balance, of which physical health is only 1/5 of the equation

 

As we travel through life, a few events will be added on top of our already challenging schedule.

We’re talking about really big, unanticipated things.

The straw that breaks the camel’s back so to speak.

What is difficult to see, and critical to remember, is they are temporary.

But we forget that initially and are extraordinarily tempted to quit:

  • eating well
  • resting adequately
