Today's
Meditation:
Another quotation about being busy! And boy do I
feel it these days. Sometimes the demands of the
world just seem to crowd in on you, forcing you into
situations that you really don't want to be in, forcing
you to have to spend tons of time doing more work than you
ever planned on doing. And if the people who are
depending upon you are people who really need your help,
then what can you do but be super busy for a while?
But no matter how busy we are, it's important that we
watch our health--after all, once that's gone, what
happens to our quality of life? And just whom can we
help if our health is compromised? That's why even
when we become extremely busy, we still have to find time
for exercise and make decisions that will help us to
maintain a decent level of health. When I'm so busy
that I have to cut back on exercising, I also make it a
point to cut back on things like candy and donuts, even
though those are times when such foods are even more
desirable.
For me, the thing that I focus on most is the idea of
where I'll be if I neglect my health. I watch plenty
of people who are unhealthy, and I simply don't want to be
in their shoes. They've made decision after decision
that's detrimental to their health, and their main tool
for almost everything--their body--has fallen into a state
of disrepair, of rust and decay, even of uselessness.
Respect your tool. Make sure that you take care of
yourself, even when time is tight--or especially when time
is tight. It's an amazing gift that you've been
given, and it will do wonderful things for you if you keep
it tuned up and in good repair. Just make the
decisions over and over again to get some exercise, eat
well, and pass up the fatty and sugary foods, and you'll
end up with a healthy body that will accomplish all that
you need it to accomplish.
