Yolo: You only live once. It is important to make it whatever type of life you want it to be. You don't have to always deprive yourself of things you enjoy, or force yourself to do things you hate, in the name of 'health', your job, peer pressure, or societal expectations. Find what makes you happy and what you enjoy and fill your life with it. Don't settle for anything that isn't part of your dream or your 'perfect life'.
125: Live to be 125 years old. What can you do to ensure your body is running at 100%? By that I mean not just free of symptoms, but actually functioning at its highest level possible; waking up refreshed, having great energy throughout the day, always being in a good mood with clear thoughts, and having a healthy, active body. It is considered normal that as we age, things start to break down and we develop chronic ailments. However, by focusing on keeping yourself as close to 100% as possible, you can potentially delay or even prevent many of these conditions.
Legacy: How will you be remembered? If you are unfamiliar with "The Story of the Mexican Fisherman", I suggest you look it up. Essentially, it is making the point that we often spend our whole lives working busy, hectic, schedules in order to make enough money to someday retire and live a simple, care-free life, when in reality we all have the power to live that life right now. The only problem with the philosophy is that you end up doing nothing of significance. If you believe you have a purpose for being here then take action to fulfill it. Do something that others will remember you for.
There they are, the three main principles of Self Made Nutrition. The key is to find your own perfect balance of them. If you are interested in some help with that, be sure to check back to the blog often as nearly every post will deal with at least one of these three. You can also sign up for Self Made's Healthy Living Program for an individualized program and one-on-one coaching to help you find your perfect balance. With that said, be sure to make every day count by either enjoying it as if it were your last, using it to build a healthy body that can grow to be 125 years old, or by contributing to something that you will always be remembered for.
Have a great day everyone.
Peace!
