The Success of Health ~ The Beacon for Oct. 27, 2011

Do you know what the two major regrets that most people have moments before their death are?  They wish they had spent more time with their family and the second…..they wish they had taken better care of their health.  For most people health is not a huge priority until they lose it.  Don’t you think it is a little too late to realize this?   Know that health is a process and it is a result of the life and lifestyle you have lived up until now.

A couple of weeks ago we mourned the loss of one of the world’s elite creative minds in Steve Jobs.  Mr. Jobs was well known for his ingenuity, forward thinking and radical creativity.  We all have been touched in one way or another by the life of this man.   Personally I have so much to thank Steve for.   During my reflection time appreciating his life I also stopped to ponder if he had led a life similar to the majority of people.  Did he too wish that he had taken better care of his health?  At just age 56 Mr. Jobs had accumulated a wealth of over 6.3 billion dollars and had created a legacy that would live forever.  And yet with all that money and all that success he was left without his health, one of the few things that money can’t buy.

Another well known business tycoon is Richard Branson.  At age 61, Mr. Branson is no stranger to radical thinking.  Starting his first company at age 16 he has gone on to now own and operate over 400 businesses!    A friend of mine belongs to a small mastermind group and when given the chance he asked Mr. Branson what he felt allowed him to do all that he does.  Branson’s reply, “My health.”  It turns out that he invests over 3 hours a day into his health by exercising, eating well, visiting chiropractors and other body workers.  This blew my mind, here is an owner of 400 companies, who attends 100’s of  meetings, travels around the world,  and is responsible for so many staff, who values his health so much that he invest this much energy into it.  Branson knows his health is the vehicle that allows him to do what he loves to do the best that he can.  And for Mr. Branson, that is very well.

So whether you are a CEO, a hockey player, a home maker or a baker, know that your health is your greatest asset.  Without it you are nothing.  With it you have the ability to do what your heart dreams of.  Please don’t wait till the end to realize this.  Begin now, invest in it.  You will find like all good investments the more you put in the more you will get out of it.

Yours in successful living.
