Taking stuff for granted ...
When ur young & foolish ... you think you're bullet proof & 10 foot tall .... not a worry in the world ... fearless in fact ... try anything twice just for the hell of it ...These days I'm far more aware ... far more in tune with what's RIGHT and what's WRONG ...
... and in particular, how dodgy life can be ...
... here one minute .. gone the next ... my own father in fact, died exactly like that ... heart attack ... pfffffffft! gone in an instant ...
Good health, well being & fitness is the very ultimate for me & something i'm truly passionate about. It's also the only thing you have to sustain your life & safeguard you from disease.
One thing I NEVER, EVER do ... is take this life i have for granted.
It's unfortunate so many fail to see the forest for the trees & continue to over-eat, smoke, drink & abuse their health.
Wake up people, life is far too precious to just throw it away.
My motivation is simple ... I WANNA LIVE ....
I want to complete the cycle of life ... not throw the towel in half way through ..
I intend to enjoy my future grand children ... even see them get married ...
... these are my goals ... my focus ... my motivation ... my drive ...
Find yours.
Life is definitely worth it.

I love blogs on health issues. I'm also one of those who is very cautious with my health. I took up gym 2 years ago and quit cos I prefer outdoor activities. I jog everyday for 2 hours at least every morning beginning at 5.30am plus aerobics in the evenings. I also look after my food intake. My food comprises of about 80% raw veges and fruits and 20% of the others. WHY? It comes back to the bottom of it all you mentioned in your blog.
LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS TO THROW AWAY
After changing my diet and doing all these exerciseS and aerobics, I have never been sick, feels young and so healthy..
