TODAY MATTERS – Today’s Health Gives Me Strength!

Making the right decisions early in life, then managing those decisions the rest of your life is the key to success!

Before we get to far into this discussion let’s take a brief time-out and have a heart-to-heart conversation. Health is a big subject that demands some honest answers.

• Are you one of the thousands of Americans who ingest television 4 hours/day with your hand in a bag of potato chips while finishing off the Rocky-Road ice-cream?
• When is the last time you thought about eating a healthy diet?
• Are you presently doing anything to get your body in motion?
• What limiting belief is hindering forward progress?

Consider these 3 truths…

1.Your health impacts you emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. You can get rid of a lot of things in your life, but you cannot get rid of your body – you are stuck with it. So take care of it!

2.Your health often determines quality as well as quantity of life. Zig Zigler stated once that you would not allow a million dollar race horse to smoke cigarettes, drink whisky, or stay out all night. Isn’t your life worth more than a million dollar race horse?

3.It is easier to maintain good health than to regain it. Stop being arrogant about your health!

Your health matters today not only for yourself but those you dare to love and cherish! Consider these 5 realities…

• Have a purpose worth living for. Your life purpose will help you manage health decisions wisely because your purpose motivates longevity. It is hard to find motivation for the future when there is no hope in the present.
• Do work you enjoy! Lilly Tomlin declared once that even if you win the rat race of life, you are still a rat! Why spend your life on something that makes you miserable and unfulfilled.
• Find your pace and rhythm. Mickey Mantle stated once that if he had realized that he was going to live so long he would have taken better care of himself.
• Accept your personal worth. Your acceptance of your self affects every aspect of human behavior. A positive self image is the best preparation for success.
• LAUGH!
