Life is a Gift. Health is a Choice, a choice based on the decisions we make every day regarding what we put in our mouths and what we choose to do from an exercise perspective.
I was rationalizing the photos I kept on my phone last night, and I stumbled across a photograph my wife took of me in the ICU.
I was connected to an ECG, being given oxygen at the time, drifting in and out of consciousness.
Jacqui brought our three daughters to visit and had come in to see me before bringing them into the room.
I will never forget the looks on the faces of all the women in my life as they stood at the foot of my bed.
Life is a Gift, but Your Health is a Choice.
It is a choice you make every day as you fail to do the things you need to do every day to extend that life and elevate the quality of your life.
If you take anything from today’s message, then take this – Do whatever it takes to extend your life and improve the quality of your health because it doesn’t just belong to you. It belongs to those who love you as well.
I know there will come another time when the women in my life stand at the foot of my bed, but I will work to ensure I am as close to 100 years of age as possible.
My Health is the Choice.
