Spend your life living out the story that you can’t, or start believing you can, and watch the universe unfold in front of you. We spend most of our lives in an effort to accumulate wealth, and prevent death. But what kind of wealth we chase, and what kind of death we experience, is largely up to us. Of course, we’ve all heard wealth comes in the form of money, relationships, time, and health, and most of us reading this have used up more than half of that time! We no longer have the luxury to chase only the money kind of wealth, letting the others slide, leading to a slow, lonely death. If you’ve been chasing money, it may help extend the last few decades of your life through modern medicine, helping you live a bit longer through surgeries and medicines, in poor health but hanging on. I argue that is not health, and in many ways that is not life. Not the life envisioned for yourself that you’ve worked so hard to “enjoy.” It's time to start investing where it matters, you can’t enjoy your money, your relationships or your time if your health has failed you. Don’t you see?? Yet for many, health is at the bottom of the list. In fact, spending money on grand vacations, fashion, houses and cars comes way before spending any amount of money or time on health. It is not a priority. So when does it become a priority, when it is too late, and the damage has been done? When all of our time, money and often relationships go into patching our health so we can extend those last few decades. No one wins, everyone pays. But I think if you’re reading this, you are wanting more than just an extended few decades at the end of your life. You are wanting to live as you are now, enjoying your hobbies, children, and reaping the benefits of prioritizing your health. This is what we all want for the second half of our lives, but wanting isn’t enough. We must put in the work. If we want to feel good in ten years, we need to be feeling and moving GREAT NOW. Age and time are not friendly and will only set you back farther and farther the longer you wait. Are you putting off making changes, thinking you’ll have more time or energy tomorrow, but expect to feel better than you do today, and enjoy your life as much ten years from now? You can extend your “life” span through modern medicine, but a longer “health” span you achieve through preventing the use of modern medicine, by prioritizing your health through fitness, nutrition and lifestyle habits. Put in the work now, and maintenance becomes much easier than starting tomorrow or a year from now! Don’t want until you get the news you’ve already waited too long. So what CAN you do to improve your HEALTHSPAN? Extend your QUALITY of life beyond just using modern medicine to live longer? You need to be feeling and moving GREAT now IF you want to feel GOOD ten and twenty years from now. Yes, age brings decline, but you have more control thank you think, it is up to you.
