Motivational Tip #11
Treat Your Body Like a Divine Gift

Did you know that there are approximately 3 trillion chemical reaction in the human body every second? That your heart will pump about 2, 232,000 times this month? I could go on, but I believe these two examples illustrate my point.

We can - see, remember, hear, think, feel, experience, expend energy in play and work - and we do all of this with an instrument that performs with almost flawless perfection, moment by moment, and day in and day out for over 75 years.

It also does all of this in spite of all of our attempts to sabotage its efforts. We eat too much, we drink too much, we allow ourselves to get all stressed out over unimportant issues, we don’t exercise, we smoke, we put food in our bodies that would kill a cat. We don’t rest enough, and we don’t sleep enough. We expose ourselves to all sorts of germs, diseases, and circumstances almost daring God to take life from us.

How are you doing today? Are you helping your body, help you find happiness, success and peace, or are you doing everything possible to get in its way?

I can only tell you, that if you like being here, and would like the trip to last as long as you can, and have it filled with less sickness, pain and disruption, that you give it half a chance. Most people treat their car better than they do their bodies, and you trade your car in at least every 3 or 4 years. This is the only body you get this trip!
