I
would like to share this story with you and are you taking care of
yourself?
Healthy
as a Horse
by
Darren Hardy
I
live close to the Del Mar Racetrack, one of the biggest horseracing
facilities in the country, where “the turf meets the surf.”A week
before the start of the race season, a good friend of mine took me
down to the track to visit the owner of a prized racehorse.
The
owner told me how he had made a science of the exact nutritional
value in every bite that horse ate—what was perfect for its
digestion, energy, and dental care. He explained how he had only the
best licensed veterinarian check the horse thoroughly each week, how
he exercised the horse twice daily, how he made sure the horse had
the appropriate social interaction with other horses to keep his
spirit up.
He
emphasized how the horse’s comfort, needs, and health were in need
of constant attention to ensure it was happy and able to perform at
its best. I was impressed with this man’s nutritional acumen,
attentiveness, and discipline … until the trainer walked in with
his lunch. McDonald’s hamburgers, fries, and a giant soda.
I
had already noticed that the owner probably didn’t exercise. After
seeing the meal, I understood that poor eating habits had contributed
to his weight. So I asked him when he had last visited the doctor for
a checkup. His answer? He hadn’t been in years. He had his horse
checked every week, but he had not seen a doctor for years.
Do
you get my point here? Here was a guy with a billion-dollar body—one
priceless to his family and friends—yet he cared more for his
horse’s health than his own. Insane. Sadly, he is not alone. I know
people who feed their dogs more carefully than they do their own
kids. Can you imagine that?!
These
examples can be contributed to one thing: a poor health and fitness
philosophy.
I
don’t want you to fall into this same trap. I want you to
revitalize your commitment to being fit and healthy. You don’t want
to be the guy or gal with the highest rank or title, with the most
cars, with the biggest house … in the graveyard. So if you do not
have a health and fitness philosophy—one that includes healthy
eating habits, exercise, and social interaction—create one today.
Here
is a sad truth: Most people spend their youth trying to make a lot of
money at the sacrifice of their health. Then they spend all their
money to buy their youth and health back.
Just
doesn’t seem smart, does it?
Remember
this always: Your health IS your wealth.
It’s
as simple as that.
Treat
yourself as a prized racehorse (at least)!
