The value of good health

I woke up today and read this story of Robin William's widow, who spoke about his last moments. That article gave me a little glimpse into why he would take his life. (Read article here)

To me, it wasn't an act of cowardice. It was an act that took a lot of courage, and a lot of self love - to choose to take his own life than to allow degenerativeness to overcome him. For us who never knew what aches and pains of old age or sickness is, we would never truly appreciate good health or understand how it feels to lose control of our own bodies. Blessed to be in an industry where we can actively combat aging and live young for as long as possible. I am grateful to be able to have access to great quality Nu Skin and Pharmanex products.. even more grateful after reading this article.

There are no shortcuts in life or achievements. Sometimes we get lucky but luck is too unpredictable. It's like a game of chance. Sometimes is a blessing. Other times, this gradual transition of things that we are not aware of could be a curse; like how some people get a fatal sickness or into a life changing accident.

Life is too fragile to leave things to chance. Why not make it matters of choice instead?

2017 has been an interesting journey. I learn the value of making the right choices and the importance of pitting into priority what matters most.

Every morning, I will join my friends to circumambulate around the tree. It is an hour long exercise called Bagua, which I learned from Bodhi Meditation Centre. I prefer this internal circulation of energy. I deem it far more useful and sustainable compared to external energy exhaustion. Many people would find it too slow and something for the elderly. These shallow thoughts of understanding is an example of what one chooses to see. There is more depth to ancient wisdom than meets the eye, that is for sure.

We have one body. Wellness is a huge combination of what we think, what we do and what we eat. Our lifestyle determines our health. Every option has it's benefits and shortfalls. I am sure everyone would choose good options that will benefit themselves. Results comes after process. It is the diligence of practice and understanding of our own body and mind that counts.

The value of good health and happiness is priceless. May everyone be well and happy.
