The Secret to Good Health-Warren Buffett.

"When I was sixteen, I had just two things on my mind - girls and cars. I wasn't very good with girls. So I thought about cars. I thought about girls, too, but I had more luck with cars.

Let's say that when I turned sixteen, a genie had appeared to me. And that genie said, 'Warren, I'm going to give you the car of your choice. It'll be here tomorrow morning with a big bow tied on it. Brand-new. And it's all yours.'

Having heard all the genie stories, I would say, 'What's the catch?' And the genie would answer, 'There's only one catch. This is the last car that you're ever going to get in your life. So it's got to last a lifetime.'

If that had happened, I would have picked out that car. But, can you imagine, knowing it had to last a lifetime, what I would do with it?

I would read the manual about five times. I would always keep it garaged. If there was the least little dent or scratch, I'd have it fixed right away because I wouldn't want it rusting. I would baby that car because it would have to last a lifetime.

That's exactly the position you are in concerning your mind and body. You only get one mind and one body. And it's got to last a lifetime. Now, it's very easy to let them ride for many years. But if you don't take care of that mind and that body, they'll be a wreck forty years later, just like the car would be.

It's what you do right now, today, that determines how your mind and body will operate ten, twenty, and thirty years from now."

I'm guessing that many of us would have appreciated hearing this when we were a lot younger. Maybe we did and just didn't follow through. If we had, we may have taken better care of ourselves and would be feeling a lot healthier (mentally and physically) today.

The good thing is...it's not too late. We can start today by taking better care of our "vehicles" that get us around each day. Let's face it, there is never going to be a perfect time. It can all start with something as simple as committing to drink more water and walk every. Find yourself an accountability partner and just go for it!

Small changes over time, create lasting change. Nothing feels better than fit!
