The goose is getting fat, are you?

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat.

And perhaps you are too?

Or at least a little out of shape, a bit soft around the edges maybe.

Because you took your eye off the ball of what’s truly important in life, your health.

Your health is your real wealth.

Good health is a crown worn by the healthy that only the ill can see

As in, the consequence of taking your health for granted is that you neglect it, you’re not maintaining it, you assume it’ll always be there, until it’s not.  When we’re either told by the doctor or we have that shock moment when we see ourselves in the mirror or in a photograph.

Just this morning in the gym, I noticed the number of totally out of shape people and wondered if they were now thinking, ‘I wished I’d started sooner’.

The four most important pillars of a meaningful life are built upon:

  1. Your Health
  2. Your Family
  3. Your Friends
  4. Your Work

In that order too.  You can’t truly be your best in all areas of life unless you feel your best, and that starts with your health & wellbeing.

It’s a balancing act, quite often you’ll not feel like the no1 priority due to life just happening, however if you’re mindful of when the balance is out and you feel a bit neglected, then you quickly reset and restart on you.
