“The secret of getting ahead is getting started” - Mark Twain
Health is wealth. The old saying holds for generations. Good health is the best thing that god has gifted us. We need to maintain it through proper health practices. Whenever we call a friend or relative the first thing that we would ask after saying “Hello” is, “How are you? This single question itself explains how important our health is. We want to know the person at the opposite is healthier or not. If he is fine then we would feel good. This actually is a good habit. But how much are we caring about our health?
I have seen a lot of women who, when a family member becomes sick they will help them a lot, as if they were the next Mother Theresa. But when they become ill, they don’t take care that much. This is absolutely wrong. We are responsible for our health. We must take care of our body. It’s our duty to be fit. Wealth brings happiness, right? The same holds here, health brings happiness. For an example, if you buy an ice cream, you will be happy only if you eat it. Will you be happy only by buying and seeing it? Not so, isn’t? Likewise, only if you enjoy your success you will be happier. That is the reason health is important. Think that you have won gold medal in a tournament. The organizing committee is giving a big feast, but because of your health issues you are not able to attend it. Will it be nice? Only when you take part in the party and enjoy the feast, you become a happier person that you enjoy your victory.
There is no wealth equal to good health. I read a quote that impressed me and inspired me a lot to like it. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost, but when health is lost, something is lost. This something can be your happiness, peace of mind, sleep and why even relations such as relatives and friends. It can bring a great destruction to your life. Like a snow ball, when you loss happiness, it destroys peace of mind which in turn affects sleep, which totally affect our job performance and family relations. At last a huge avalanche would have taken place in your life leaving a great destruction. So without good health, nothing can be enjoyed. There is no equivalent to health that you can substitute. So, do you want to be a loser or a winner? If you want to be the person who wants to have a long life, want to marry your dream girl, see your children grow, want to be rich? Then go on reading this book and practice the ideas that are given in this book.
“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”-Henry Ford.
The verse is a wonderful verse, which fits for everything. There are several reasons that I had failed in my weight reduction program. Many men and women have failed in weight reduction because they get advice of wrong people, don’t know the biology of human body, believing the wrong facts or don’t follow good health habits. I don’t want you to be one among them. You can enjoy success, you can enjoy good health and you can have a wonderful life, if you do believe. All you need is to do believe that you can also have the healthy long life.
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. “- Buddha
The verse strongly express the idea that belief is what important to being successful. So at this moment, believe that you too can reduce weight and become fit. In bible a verse comes like this “believe the Good News” (Mark 1:15), a good verse. Here, I also tell you, believe that you can reduce your weight and have a wonderful life. Believe that you can do it and believe that you will win. Everything will change only if you change your mind.
“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” - Bernard Shaw
Be Inspired - Do it
One day, an old man was having a stroll in the forest when he suddenly saw a little cat stuck in a hole. The poor animal was struggling to get out. So, he gave him his hand to get him out. But the cat scratched his hand with fear. The man pulled his hand screaming with pain. But he did not stop; he tried to give a hand to the cat again and again...
Another man was watching the scene, screamed with surprise, “For god sakes! Stop helping this cat! He’s going to get himself out of there”. The other man did not care about him, he just continued saving that animal until he finally succeeded, and then he walked to that man and said, “Son, it is cat’s Instincts that makes him scratch and to hurt, and it is my job to love and care”.
Treat everyone around you with your ethics, not with theirs. Treat the people the way you want to be treated by them.
