HEALTH: Your career

Our physical health can affect other areas of our lives such as career and family. If we are not feeling well or are battling sickness and disease, it affects not only us, but those around us.

God has given us the best diet plan in the Bible. If you will read Leviticus and Deuteronomy, you will find a diet blueprint that will help you walk in optimal health. Walking in good health requires discipline and commitment. You might not feel like eating fruits and vegetables over cookies and hotdogs, but the rewards of feeling energized and fully alive are well worth the effort. Educate yourself on how you can live a healthier lifestyle and share your good news with others.

LIFE: Live each moment

“In the end, life lived to its fullest is its own Ultimate Gift.” – Jim Stovall. Everyone comes in this world alone and goes to the next world alone; whatever he chooses to make of his life depends on the person. People can either wallow in their sorrow, or they can take the low phase in their life as a challenge and try to overcome it. They can either be sad about it, or they can choose to see the glass half full.

When you try to live each moment of your life, be it in the happiness or grief, there would be no regrets, because the person would have the satisfaction of making the best out of what they had. As Jim Stovall says, a life well lived is a gift in itself. It’s a cherished feeling, which everyone should strive for.
