September 15, 2023 “Build a fence around you!”
We’ve all heard the saying, “Money don’t grow on trees” right? Well just for hypothetical purposes and for the sake of this blog imagine this scenario.
Imagine waking up one day to find that a tree in your yard that has been there for years is now growing $1-$20 bills. You can easily pick the money and use it for whatever you want without any issues. You realize the more you talk positively to the tree, water it, give it good nutrition that not only does the tree produce more money, but it’s starting to produce more $50 and $100 bills.
In the past you had no fence around your property because you said it cost too much and didn’t see a need for it. Well, not only have you built a fence, but you also made your house a fortress with the best security system money can buy surrounding this tree. You installed a sprinkler system because you know the importance of good hydration. You cleared other obstacles away from the tree that prevented it from getting good sunlight. You started doing research to see what are the best fertilizers and nutrients to keep trees healthy. You spend quality time with this tree, learning what makes it produce more effectively.
Now back to reality because your BODY IS that tree. I found that the healthier I am the more productive I am. The more I exercise the clearer my mind is and my soul is happier. The healthier I eat the more value I add to my health. The more I move the better my mobility and flexibility becomes. The more water I drink the better my skin feels. The more sun I get the better my mood is. These are just a few of the MANY benefits of taking care of your body.
15 years ago, I was in the worse shape/health of my life. I took a vow then that I would protect my body and I would not let anything including my own self sabotage take me back to that unhealthy place. So, I built a fence around my body much like the one around the hypothetical money tree. I don’t let others influence the food that enters my body, prevent me from getting enough exercise or affect my spirit. If they try, they meet that fence. Since building that fence my life has changed immensely. I make more money because I am much more productive, having extra energy to get things done. I keep an open mind and not being afraid to try new things, which in turn provides new opportunities. And if I fail, I don’t look at it as failure, but a lesson learned.
So, treat your body like a newfound tree you discovered that is ready to produce great fruit in your life. This hypothetical scenario could really become a reality if you believe you are worth protecting. No Mess
