I had to decide to be courageous enough to overcome my inertia. Have you had to be courageous? I mean, to decide to get healthy? And after that, to find a million ways to stay healthy?

For example: Dear God thank you for the blessing to practice the two key ingredients – focus and discipline – to reach 53 in the physical condition I’m in.

maybe I need a new prescription for life

I’ve mentioned (here) the secret to a lifetime of healthy, balanced, living. And it doesn’t revolve around what most wellness motivation insights focus on. In fact, I dare say that my approach is sdrawkcab.

Backwards. Different. Not even on the radar. Uncommon. Antagonistic. Crazy. Story of my life.
