Health is life insurance
It seems pathetic that a human being, created in the form of a perfect mechanism, should be so inconsiderate, so negligent with the care of his marvellous body.
The way most people abuse the human machine, one would think that they are trying to leave this life as soon as possible.
We have only one body in which to live out our early days. It is so precious to us that we should treat it reverently, as the temple of our being, which it is. Instead, most people do everything they can to poison it, to tear it down, to cripple and get rid of it.
We fill our lungs with smoke and our stomachs with rich foods and harmful drink. We torture the nervous system with pills to keep us awake and pills to put us to sleep.
We ignore Nature's warning signals (headache and bodily pains) by eliminating the discomforts, instead of treating the cause of our disorders.
Nothing will aid us so well in attaining the larger successes in life, as will keeping ourselves in a superb physical condition. Nothing in life can mean more to us than our health, keeping in top physical condition for the Targest possible expression of our ability.
One of the greatest investments which we can make is to invest in health, for there is no other investment like it. It increases our efficiency, our effectiveness in life, our creative and productive ability. Health is life insurance, success and happiness insurance.
