“A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.” – Spanish proverb
Each of us is only given one body through which we experience this life. Its capacity for service to us is limited only by how much respect we give to it and how well we care for it. It is an intricate machine, capable of things we often overlook.
Quite often, we engage it in so many trivialities that we lose sight of how much it can really do. As it follows the guidance of our mind, it can be the instrument through which we play the symphony that is our life, or it can simply bleat out the same note again and again. In order to fully realize the usefulness of this vessel, it is important to not only take the time to offer it regular maintenance through exercise and good nutrition, but to consciously appreciate it and the life that it helps us develop.
