It’s vital to guard your health, not because of the pain and suffering of illness. You just can’t afford the time to be ill.
Time is what life’s made of. An average American lifetime is 78 years, a mere 936 months. According to the World Health Organization, we spend one-third of that time sleeping and getting up. (We are slow at getting up.) That leaves 640 months. Wow ! One-third of our life gone and we’re not having fun yet.
On average, we spend 15 years at kindie and school. It’s called the best time of your life. I would have given most of it a miss, but we spend all our youth at it. That’s 180 months. That leaves 460 months. Life’s half over. Where is all the fun?
We spend an average of 35 years working for a living, plus 2 weeks per year for vacations and another 10 days for public holidays which we will not count. Just the working is 420 months, and surveys say overwhelmingly that, given the choice, most folk wouldn’t. Wow! Most of us spend the biggest chunk of our lives doing stuff we would not do if given the choice.
That leaves only 40 months in a 78-year life, which includes all the vacations and days off you are ever going to get. When does the real fun start?
On average we spend 25 hours per month at basic ablutions, that is, bathing and toileting, which many folk would give a miss if they didn’t start to look funny and smell odd. Bathing and toileting are fairly recent phenomena. (I am not counting the time spent preening because most people do consider that fun. That’s part of the 40 months we had left above, and some folk seem to spend the whole allotment preening.) Basic toilette takes just over I day per month, every month for life. That totals 32 months. Now we are down to 8 months.
Do everything possible to guard your health as your most precious possession. You don’t have the time to be ill. In a whole healthy lifetime, most of us get only 8 months for the real fun, including love, vacations, hanging out, hobbies, sport, travel, yakking, and shopping. No wonder we never have time to catch the monster trout, not to mention the Jimmy Choo sales.
Only way round it is to do a job (average 420 months of life) that’s real fun to do. If you don’t do that now, look in the mirror for the person to tell that it’s time for a change. Maybe it’s time for Isagenix.
