Where it all begins | Part 1
Two things, health and hope.
Starting with health, we all have some form of it. Good, bad, decent, vibrant - you pick the adjective for yours. I have perfect health. This is not to be boastful, this is only to preface the next portion of this post. Aside from a few miscellaneous "irritants," I have perfect health. Hay fever, pollen allergies, etc. are the only real concerns that I have. With a recent insurance physical, I qualified for the best possible rate for disability insurance because, yes, my health and fitness is in line. My health is a precious gift. My health is a blessing. My health is the BEST blessing. My health, is my life. Your health, is my life. If I were to disregard that and liveUNstrong - the opposite goal of the yellow wristbands everyone is wearing these days - what would I be doing to protect that blessing? Not much. How is your health? Whatever state it is in, PROTECT IT! Fight for it. Believe in it. Hope through it. Do you want to change it? Change begins with choice. Change your mind, change your body. Change is good. These sayings are familiar to many of us. There is not any portion of this planet earth that does not undergo change. Its somewhat arrogant that we decide that we have it all figured out and that we can be the one entity on planet earth that doesn't change. If your body is changed, surely your life will be also. I promise you, when your health and fitness is in order, every other area of your life will begin to fall into line - personal, professional, recreational, familial, etc. Start today. You may not have tomorrow.
