What You Do Matters…

 

I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health.  I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health.

 

Do you know anyone who would eat a quart of Crisco or a pound of butter a day?  Hey, my cholesterol’s down to 239, I need to get it up over 400.  There are still a few arteries flowing and I need to get ‘em all clogged, right now, today!  Does anyone believe that’s the way to good health?  If course not.  Then why do we act like we do?

 

You know what you’re supposed to eat.  We all do.  Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef…You know it, I know it, we all know it.  So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day?

 

I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us.  Not today.

If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again?  I doubt it.  It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all the high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead.  And so do you.  It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth.

 

It’s easy to eat well.  And it’s easy not to.

 

It’s not the one junk-food meal; it’s the thousands, over time.  Eating the burger is just a simple error in judgment.  Not eating it, a simple positive action.  Eating it won’t kill you—today.  But compounded over time, it can and will.  Not eating it won’t save you—today.  But compounded over time, it can and will.

 

A simple, positive action.  A simple error in judgment.  Either way, it’s the Slight Edge at work—working for you or working against you.  For example, if you read 10 pages of a good book today will you see success?  No.  If you don’t read 10 pages of a good book a day will you see failure?  No.  They look the same today.

 

Invisible results.

 

Why do you walk past the exercise bike?  Because it’s easy.  If you don’t exercise today, will that kill you?  No, of course not.  You know what you need to do to stay healthy and feel fit and live a long life.  Get your heart rate up, a little over normal, for twenty minutes, three times a week.  You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.  And it’s easy to do.

 

But it’s also easy not to do.  And if you don’t do it today, or tomorrow, or the next day, you won’t suddenly drop dead, and you won’t suddenly put on twenty pounds, and you won’t suddenly lose all your muscle tone and flop around like a marionette with his strings cut off.  But that simple error in judgment, compounded over time, will take you down and out.

 

It is the same with your health, your diet, your exercise, your financial habits, your knowledge, your relationships, your marriage.  With anything and everything.  With your life.

 

The difference between success and failure is not dramatic.  In fact, the difference between success and failure is so subtle, most people miss it.  They hold the philosophy that what they do doesn’t really matter.  It’s not hard to see how people come to this understanding of life.  I don’t blame them.  It’s completely understandable.  It’s just not the truth.

 

The truth is, what you do matters.  What you do today matters.  What you do every day matters.

 

                Successful people just do the things that seem to make no difference in the act of doing them and they do them over and over and over until the compound effect kicks in.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this clip taken from: The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.  This book has had great impact on my life and I want to keep sharing its tremendous value.  I know fitness is not always easy to start, but with trained professionals it can be easier.  Some people are unsure where to start, I get that.
