As an entrepreneur and writer, one of my goals is to have more assets than liabilities. Creating a successful business that can be sold later is an example of such an asset. But there is one asset that trumps them all – your body.
Steve Jobs was a genius and brilliant business person. He created one of the most innovative and valuable companies in the world. Sadly, when he fell ill, none of the other assets he owned mattered.
I believe it is crucial to take great care of our body, mind and soul. Eating healthy and keeping fit by exercising is very important. This does not guarantee a long life of good health, but it increases the chances of having such a life.
As an entrepreneur, I realise that if I do not take great care of myself, everything I have worked so hard for can be lost. If I get sick, I cannot work at my best. I have come across wealthy people who have spent a lot of the money they worked so hard for, on medical bills. This is tragic.
Take care of your only asset since birth, and it will take care of you. Then you can experience life at your best and hopefully make a positive difference in this world.
