They say, “Health is wealth”—and I can’t agree more.

You could have all the gold, glory, and influence imaginable, but if your body is failing, you will spend most of your energy and resources trying to fix it. True wealth is living in a body that supports your goals, dreams, and calling.

STARTING SMALL – BUILDING BIG

Now more than ever, we have endless tools and choices to maintain and improve our health.

The best approach? Start simple. Don’t overwhelm yourself with a dozen changes at once—pick one or two habits, stay consistent, and let momentum do the rest.

Remember: real transformation is not a sprint—it’s a daily practice that builds into a lifestyle.

CORE HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFE

Here are some foundational habits to help you grow:

• Speak Life – Use your words to build yourself and others. Read, listen to, and watch content that inspires and strengthens you.

• Fuel Wisely – Drink fresh juice from fruits and vegetables. Limit processed foods, refined sugars, and empty calories.

• Move Daily – Spend at least 30 minutes walking. If you can, aim for 30–60 minutes of exercise—cardio, strength, & stretching.

• Protect Your Mind – Find quiet time to meditate, reflect, and think. Stillness restores clarity.

• Share Your Energy – Offer a smile, lend a hand, or speak encouragement. Healthy people have the capacity to lift others.

• Get Fresh Air & Sunlight – Even 10–15 minutes outdoors can improve mood, immunity, and vitality.

WHY HEALTH UNLOCKS OPPORTUNITIES

When you optimize your health, you don’t just gain physical strength—you gain mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual resilience.

You’ll have the stamina to say “yes” to new opportunities, the energy to collaborate with others, and the mental focus to make wise decisions.

Health creates confidence, and confidence opens doors.

DISCIPLINE, GOALS, & LONGEVITY

I’ve been active in sports since I was young, and I’ve learned that staying healthy isn’t about short bursts of effort—it’s about ongoing discipline.

Some days you’ll feel unstoppable, and other days you’ll have to push yourself just to show up. But here’s the truth:

The daily work pays off. Over time, you’ll see results you never thought possible.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF HEALTHY CHOICES

When you invest in your health, your choices naturally influence other areas of your life.

Just like in the gym—after running 5 miles or sweating through a tough workout, the last thing you crave is soda or alcohol. You’ll naturally reach for water, electrolytes, or fresh juice.

The same happens spiritually. When you spend time in the secret place doing prayer, praise, and worship (PPW), you start to gravitate toward things that build you up—and you repel the things that drain or harm you.

Results create momentum, and momentum makes the good habits feel natural.

FINAL THOUGHT

If you haven’t started—start now. There’s no time like the present. If you’ve already started—keep going.

There are people you don’t even know who will be impacted by your decision to keep becoming the best version of yourself.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit… You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor the Most High with your bodies.” – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
