There are 3 types of people in the world….those that
watch things happen, those that make things happen and those that ask what
happened!
Some of the comments and questions
directed my way concerning
the concept of living to age 120 are
really interesting! Some people say…
“I don’t think the bible
meant that literally…”
And
“I would love to get my 120 if
it is God’s will…”
So what I want to
know is “what are
you doing to get your
120?”
Have you changed your diet,
begun to exercise
more, changed jobs or
just decided to spend more quality
time with your loved ones? See, all these things
add years to your life and allow your whole
self to be more
balanced.
Life is all about balance.
It is so easy to
get
caught up in the rat race.
We get up, sit in traffic, go to work, sit
in more traffic, go home, watch TV
for a few hours and then go to bed. Over and over and over this is our
routine, (whew that’s enough of that).
It took me two weeks to write another entry for
this blog, because I had so many things pulling
me in different directions, but the main one was the dreaded
9-5 or in my case the 9-6.
In December of 2014,
I decided I had to make a change
in my work schedule for the
betterment of my spiritual, mental and physical health. I was allowed to go to a four-day
work week by my employer (thank you)! We
live in a society that
has a seven day week and the
thought of me
giving up five of my precious days to work and only having
two for my family (and me) just
did not seem right! So, now I work four
days a week with Monday off. Having Monday off was important
to me since it is pretty much the beginning of a normal (or abnormal),
depending upon your perspective, work week. Yes, there are some financial ramifications for my
decision, but for me working on Monday wasn’t going to make me
a financially
wealthy man. Working four days instead of five has allowed
me to focus more on my family, health
and fulfilling my passions. I often get asked “what started
me on this journey to 120? When I
look back on the last year, I believe that was
the beginning. I didn’t know it then, but
I see it know.
So, I ask my question again… “What are
you doing to get your 120?”
Another
decision I made to help me get my 120 was to become a Youngevity
distributor. I am a user and distributor
of this wonderful, effective nutrition line. Check it out here kevinq.youngevity.com
Love this entry and I totally agree. Its really not about getting to the "age" of 120 but living a "full life" of health, balance and family.
