Taking Care of Your Body

I bet you wash your car, keep your house painted nice, and take good care of your cell phone.   But here’s the interesting question…  Do you take as good of care of your body as you do your cell phone? 

I made a huge breakthrough in my success when I had a realization.  I realized that my body didn't have enough energy to keep the pace with my mind, and I made a decision to improve my health.  You wouldn’t put diesel in your car instead of gasoline (or vice versa if you have a diesel engine).  So why would you put the wrong fuel in your body?  You wouldn’t keep driving it after it ran out of oil.  So why would you keep your body going without enough sleep?  You wouldn’t skip all the maintenance for a couple of years.  So why would you go that long without an exercise program?

You can't achieve peak performance and optimal results in anything, if you're not in good health.  One reason we may abuse our bodies is because they are so strong, so amazing.  They just seem to rebound so well.  But we know that there is always a price to pay.  You own your body.  Maybe you should stop treating it like a rental.
