You have been married how many times? My bride and I remarry in a different state or country ever year. As of this printing, we have been married 23 times. For all the guys reading this, let me help you with the math: That’s 23 honeymoons! Why would you settle for having just one honeymoon? Seriously. The simple truth is, the state you chose to get married in does not govern your marriage; your state of mind does. I learned that from Dr. Michael Beckwith, and he is so right. For my bride and me, we are continuously in one of two states: post-honeymoon bliss — a great place to be — or planning another fun wedding, minus all the stress. You see, after 23 weddings, we no longer subscribe to the “perfect wedding” mentality. We just know it’s going to be fun, romantic, and a huge blessing. In fact, for our 22nd wedding, in Vancouver, B.C., rain was in the forecast. We thought about changing the date until we realized we had never been married in the rain before. It might actually be fun! We will always remember our first wedding in the rain. You may be wondering exactly why we do this, and the practical-minded among you may also be wondering how we afford it. Every season seems to bring a new diet and supplement fad. It reminds me of the fashion industry. The reason styles change every season is to get us all to buy more clothes! As a best-selling author of a cancer-prevention book, I’m positioned as an expert on health and wellness. The key is to be an expert on your body and eliminate as many toxic foods as possible. Yet, it begs the question: How did this woman enjoy such a high quality of life while smoking for over 10 decades? The answer is that she had many other positive health practices that compounded over time to keep her alive and well for so long. Albert Einstein stated, “The most powerful force in the universe is compounded interest.” He was referring to finances, but it also applies to your health. Remember the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? It’s true. Imagine if you ate an apple a day for one year; that’s 365 health deposits. Conversely, what if you ate a doughnut a day — or worse, gulped down an energy drink a day? That’s 365 withdrawals in a year. It won’t take long until you’re bankrupt and end up with a disease. Every day, you are either getting healthier or growing sicker. It’s your choice. Each future article in this section will help guide you, as a busy entrepreneur, to make choices that will make you stronger, more energetic, leaner, and, best of all, sexier!
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Health is the Real Wealth
Secrets to living to 122 ! Every year, my bride picks up the latest issue of “The Guinness Book of World Records” for the family to read. My teenage son enjoys it the most, but we all get a kick out of the wacky and unique records. I remember reading about a 122-year-old woman, who was the oldest living woman at the time. She was asked for the secret to longevity, and I believe you will find her answers helpful. She said there were three keys: #1. A little bit of exercise — she rode her bike into her hundreds. #2. A little bit of red wine — she enjoyed a glass with dinner regularly. #3. She quit smoking at 120! I like to share this funny and true story whenever I’m booked to speak on the topic of health and wellness. It’s a great reminder for the audience to keep a proper perspective on life.
