PARADIGM SHIFT

So someone asked me recently . What's the best gift you have ever got ? and I said "my healthy Body"!!! Well everyone's got  that one , that's not a gift .Oh !!really forget EVERYONE , have a closer look at your self in the mirror sometime, you will realize what i intend to say. Today as Human Beings we have acquired all the knowledge possible to ensure our supremacy over all beings existing on the planet , and ensured the longevity of the same , then why have most of us forgotten to honor what we naturally have been born with and the only thing we OWN from the day we are born .As we go about changing the natural order of things within and around us every day, we successfully have increased our average lifespan to about 70 yrs , but HAVE in a bigger way stopped respecting our own Body ( the only natural asset we born with) well early in our lives.  Conveniently, blaming it on the modern age lifestyles, urban environments, demanding deadlines and other cliche reasons we go about destroying the only thing we should be protecting and nurturing, for gains and accomplishments which only we invent for ourselves in deciding the parameters for living a Happy Life for ourselves and the people we intend to spend our lives with. But in this process why do we not give the deserving due to our own physical form ? , which primarily is responsible for ensuring the magnificent goals we keep aiming for ? why do we accept mediocrity when it involves maintaining a healthy body ? Why isn't working to know the limits of our body a parameter in ensuring a complete life? And why do we take the only natural thing we were born with and will die  "our Body" for granted throughout our lives? 

A paradigm shift in the way we look at ourselves and grade our achievements is definitely required. We keep exhausting ourselves daily to earn more, BUY happiness and have a imaginary idea of a Satisfied life !!. We have all the money , motivation and knowledge of buying that new car and know its engines more than anyone else and can never imagine missing the date of its regular periodic servicing , but we are always short on money for a membership to the nearest gym, have minimal knowledge of health benefits and the way our body works and absolutely no motivation to sculpt our body and give its shape as per our wishes. Lets  change the perception of our body , lets take it for granted in a lesser way and worship it more , nurture it and truly live a life style that defines Wellness!!. If we have no issues working that extra hour in office , we should also have no issues spending that hour in the gym , if we cant afford to miss our car s servicing date and ensure everything is smoothly running , we cant afford to have a complete body checkup once a year  ensuring all parameters within limits, if we cant stop ourselves from owning the latest upgraded phone regularly , we can afford to upgrade our physical limits regularly too. Its all about the way we conceive the idea of a FIT body, and its benefits in maintaining a healthy mind and soul. Lets stop wishing and start doing things and upgrade ourselves daily with the daily dose of working for our own body in ensuring a peaceful and sound mind !!!Lets start having goals in not only our professional lives but give more priority to our OWN body first and ensure it remains at its peak position till the last breath.
