Fortunately, as you can probably tell, I write the way I speak, so you will find you whiz through this book in no time at all. For those people who have never sampled my books before, you will see as we go on that Im not here to win any literature awards. Im here simply to help you get the results youre looking for. And if that means repeating certain points 20 times over, SHOUTING MY POINT, mildly swearing (at times) or being pretty blunt, then so be it. I dont expect you to agree with everything I write, or even to like my style all of the time, but as long as you use your intelligence, taking what makes sense to you and dumping what doesnt, youll find your life will excel. Sometimes you can read just one line of a book and it triggers something that changes you for ever. All I ask is for you to be open-minded throughout.
So if youre ready to begin a journey that will turbo-charge every single aspect of your life, lets begin
Quote of the Decade
Every now and then you hear just one sentence that not only warms your heart but also has the power to completely change the way you view your world, and in some cases to completely change your life. The following short story should help you change the way you look at your body and what you put into it.An 87-year-old man was interviewed for a local Irish television station in the 1970s. He had been living on the streets for many years, but despite having no home or job he looked not just OK, but super well and healthy. He was also incredibly happy and explained that living on the street was a lifestyle choice as he loved being a free spirit. When asked what his secret was he replied, Its simple. I dont eat any junk food.
Now clearly this man didnt have a chance to cook, but he was incredibly fussy about what he put into his body and made sure he got plenty of good, nutrient-packed food every day. It turned out that he would go to the markets at the end of the day and get a couple of bags of fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts. He also got friendly with some restaurant owners who would, every now and then, rustle him up some wholesome cooked food.
When the interviewer asked him why he insisted on never eating junk food, he replied with a sentence that has to be one of the most profound ever aired, and you may need to read it twice, or at least think about it for a few seconds to fully understand it. His exact words were:
The reason why Idont eat junkfood is because if Idont look after my body,Ill have nowhereto live.
And how true is that for all of us? If we dont look after our body we really will have nowhere to live.
We may have somewhere to survive, but rarely will we experience the mental and physical vibrancy that will enable us to truly excel in every area of our life; rarely will we feel the power of what its like to live every day in a powerful, light, slim, trim, energy-driven body.
Its No Good Being the Richest Person in the Graveyard!
The old man who lived on the streets would be seen by many as poor. But mentally and physically he was far wealthier than most people. He may not have had financial wealth, but he was truly content with his life something most people never achieve and his health bank account was well and truly in the black, something most people only dream of.
Now at this stage I already know you are financially much, much better off than that man, but no matter how much money you have, unless you are physically and mentally wealthy you are poor. Unless you wake up looking forward to the adventures that the day may bring you are poor. Unless you love your body and have the raw energy to play and excel every day you are poor. Unless you have the energy to manifest your dreams you are poor. If you cant be bothered you are poor. If you spend your life working from morning till night in a job you hate and are exhausted at the end of each day you are poor.
Amazing health, like true love and affection, is about the only thing you cannot buy or cheat at you can only do health.
Digging Your Grave with Your Teeth
The fact is, like that wise old man said, if you dont look after your body, you really will have nowhere to live. That is why most of this book focuses on what you put into your mouth and how you move your body, as without the right fuel for your body and mind its almost impossible to turbo-charge your life and live your dreams.
Equally, if you dont look after your mental health the thoughts you have daily; the way you see the world you will also have nowhere to truly live.
Our thinking determines everything we do: our food choices; what we drink; whether we exercise; our work; how productive we are; how much love we give and what we strive for in life.
Unless you change the way you think, everything remains the same.
