Hardly anybody I have met has a clear definition in their mind! My definition is this:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<strong>Health<\/strong>\u2019 is the unique optimal balance for each person of <strong>mental, physical, and spiritual<\/strong> elements.<\/p>\n<p>Most people consider themselves <strong>healthy<\/strong> if they are not sick or specifically unwell in a particular aspect. However, this is a limited and limiting view of our existence. Imagine a health spectrum of 1 to 100, where 1 is almost dead, and 100 is <strong>perfect health<\/strong>. Not being unwell is just 51 on this scale. A minor ailment would put you as unhealthy, but probably at 49.<\/p>\n<p>You would be unlikely to say you are \u2018healthy\u2019 if you have ailments.<\/p>\n<p>Now, on this spectrum, or scale, where would you rate yourself and your health? Tell the truth: don\u2019t fool yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I repeat my question at the start of this blog: are you <strong>passionate<\/strong> about your health?<\/p>\n<p>If your health is over 90 on my scale, then these are the rewards you will reap:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u221e You are highly <strong>energetic<\/strong><br \/>\n\u221e When you are highly energetic, you can add enormous value<br \/>\n\u221e The universe rewards you based on the value you add, so you will receive enormous <strong>benefits<\/strong><br \/>\n\u221e The benefits will be <strong>mental<\/strong> (money, recognition, status, achievement), <strong>physical<\/strong> (things you can buy with money, experiences, feeling great) and <strong>spiritual<\/strong> (fun, contribution, friendship, <strong>passion<\/strong>)<br \/>\n\u221e You will spend very little on <strong>medical bills<\/strong> and you won\u2019t worry about <strong>medical insurance<\/strong> at the highest level<br \/>\n\u221e You will not lose time in hospital having operations or treatments<br \/>\n\u221e Your <strong>relationships<\/strong> will be improved because it is difficult to be <strong>loving and caring<\/strong> when you are unwell<br \/>\n\u221e You will have an outstanding <strong>sex life<\/strong><br \/>\n\u221e You will have more fun: being sick is not fun!<br \/>\n\u221e You can <strong>live your life<\/strong> continuously on purpose and with meaning, without constant and frequent interruptions because you are unwell.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest to you that the rewards for you in dollar terms of this list of items is many millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>When you see this, you will learn not to ignore your health, or to accept a health assessment of less than 80 on my scale.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be silly: learn to value your health. Generate a deep passion for your health. Be happy to pay the price of caring for your health. It is a ridiculously small price to pay!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><strong><em>Charles Kovess<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Kovess International<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><em><strong><em>\u201cHarnessing Passion for World-Class Results!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get more passion for your health and reap the rewards &nbsp; Ask Yourself,&#8230; Are you passionate about your health?
