We find time for those things that are important to us.

A man once told me that he could not find the time nor resources to get themselves in any good shape. He stated he was too busy with work and life. The next day I saw him in Best Buy purchasing a 50 inch plasma for his rec-room. Help me here guys, he can’t afford a $65 membership to get himself healthy but he can get a $3000 TV to entertain himself. This was the same guy who, in church asked for prayer for his failing health and the medication his doctor was putting him on.
Every day we have to make choices. Some are easy and some are hard. But every choice has a consequence. Our health should be our first choice. The problem as I see it is that we are lazy and don’t want to put the effort forth to maintain good health. It is much easier to take medication and complain then it is to do something about it. The question should be, what would it take to reverse that thinking? The answer is in the next paragraph below.
Ask yourself this question, why do you work for a living? Most of us would say, to support our families and you would be right. However really think about why you work for a living. When you think about it, it is to support the life-style you are accustomed to. The goal for working is to accumulate as much money as possible to support your life style. If you had all the money you needed, YOU WOULD NOT WORK. Ok so the goal is good life style and the means (Mechanism) to getting there is working .
Now let’s look at our health. Everyone wants good health but they just don’t know how to achieve it. Well you have to goal set. Ask yourself this question, what is the end result? It is good health is a good life style just as working out is the mechanism to get there. You can’t use weight as a goal because that is like the money in the bank. Some days you will have a lot of money and be happy (lower weight) and some days you will not have a lot of money in the bank (heavier weight) and not be happy. You need to get your eyes off the weight and put it on something more visual and let the weight just by the by-product of your efforts. This in the end will lead to great health and a more consistent lifestyle change.
