“When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all." Augustin Burroughs

Never have more true words been said. For those that have been following me you may have noticed my absence. Covid got the better of me this time and it's been a long road to recovery. One I'm just starting after contracting the virus almost 3 months ago.

Nothing makes you take stock of your life and what you want more than coming close to losing it. I've had probably 6 or 7 'near death experiences' so far in my life. Each one has pushed me closer towards the life that I want to live yet the irony is that as your health wains so does your ability to live as fully as you would like. So you have to keep adjusting your vision to adapt to your reality.

In keeping with that thought, I'm fascinated about a human's ability to dream of the future but not actually realize that todays actions are tomorrows consequences. Why do we have such little foresight? Even if we know and understand the future impacts of present actions we somehow feel invincible to the reality we are creating.

I'm acutely aware of this cognitive bias, even moreso now. Well, not true...I was acutely aware 6 or 7 other times too. I've come to realize that we are so focused on living in the present that we don't think of the future as much as we should. Everything is put off until tomorrow unless we take charge of it today.

With that said, I decided that my focus moving forward is going to be on taking actions today for a better tomorrow. I'm going to fuel my future in so many positive ways and I'm going to take whoever wants to, come along for the ride. Starting this week you'll notice the newsletter renamed 'Fuel Your Future' with a fresh look and new take on things. There will still be lots of wisdom and insight but there will also be a tunnel like focus on helping all of us create a future self and life that is happy, healthy and wealthy.

For without your health you have nothing. But the same can be said if you're broke or miserable. It's a trifecta. It's all intertwined and what's the point of it all if you don't put your focus on these three core areas of our existence? So let's take a deep dive into the complete connection of health, wealth and happiness and how to optimize them all simultaneously.

See you later this week for our first edition of the revamped blog!
