Do you prioritize your health?

It’s interesting that I have a friend (Lets call him Bob) who decided to buy a “Fixie” bicycle, a single speed bicycle that is the latest “must have” for the urbanite.

With all the excitement of his new acquisition it was ridden to work for 3 days, enter day 4 and the fixie remained parked in the garage.

Well Bob also decided to start his “Health Kick” with some jogging around the local park, once again what started of with awesome intentions quickly dissipated into a distant memory.

However Bob loves the news, he must have the most up to date, current events that are happening locally or around the world so Bob will always ensure he gets up before work to watch the TV and check out the internet, during the day he will check updates and the evening news is always watched no matter what.

So Bob places a high priority on his news fix but a lot less on his health, while Bob is still young, neglecting his health will not have immediate effect, only in the long term.

Often we will do all of this other stuff in our life but ultimately it’s our health that matters in the end, if you are old and frail, have limited mobility it will be too late as the opportinity has passed.
