“Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.”
—Veronica A. Shoffstall
In this journey from happiness to greatness, one requires great health and great wealth. Greatness is perched like an eagle’s nest atop the three pillars of health, wealth, and wisdom. We all must endeavor to work towards great health, great wealth, and great wisdom. If one of the pillars is weak then the edifice will crumble.
Socrates has said “No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” You have the blueprint of great health inside you. It is time you brandish your health like a sword made from Toledo steel. There is no right age to start building great health. Fauja Singh was into his eighties when the successive deaths of his wife, daughter, and then one of his sons, jolted him out of his pedestrian routine, and with a renewed zest for life, he took to competitive running at the age of 89. He held 8 world records at the age of 100. The Turbaned Tornado retired at the age of 102 from competitive running. We should have people like Fauja Singh as our inspiration, he is the quintessential example of the zest for a healthy and fulfilling long life. We must decide that we will live to the age of 100.
For great health, a basic thing we need to understand is we have to do each and every activity with mindfulness and passion. Today we live in a world where we have so many options when it comes to taking care of our body and yet we often neglect to do the same. Right from walking down the lane to dancing your soul out, every activity expands our soul within releasing hormones. Even something as mundane as brushing our teeth or tying our shoelaces can be done with a lot of energy and passion. We need to understand that everything we do is for the brain and the body. Every small activity that we undertake is going to benefit our brain and our body in some way. For Great Health:
Breathe smoothly with all your focus on your body and brain. One of our goals at MAHATMAN is to live up to 100 years; and one of the pivotal factors that contribute here is our breathing pattern. Different breathing techniques would calm your reflexes and shall work on your capabilities.
Smile at everything you observe. It plays an important role in the longevity of life. When you smile sincerely, chemicals like dopamine and serotonin are released. These chemicals help us to relax, they lower our heart rate and blood pressure. Serotonin specifically acts as an antidepressant. Endorphins which act as natural pain relievers are also released in this process.
Nourish and Sustain your body by taking good care of it. Eat well. Exercise daily. Breathe rhythmically.
A study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that the productivity of people is largely dependent on their health and eating habits. Great heath not only improves your productivity but also makes you feel good about the things surrounding you.
Let’s talk about WHY GREAT WEALTH?
“Being Rich and Being Wealthy are two different things.”
A great self accumulates wealth only through hard work and by fair means. Wealth does not come through magic, miracles, invoking some supernatural power. Hard work is your only miracle. In today’s world when access to knowledge is at your fingertips, it is only hard work that will set you apart. Thomas Jefferson once said. “I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”
Having great wealth means having time in your hands to use. We have to account for every bit of time that we use or do not use. Here is one thing you need to do. Try to treat time like currency. Imagine, every minute is worth a dollar. In such a situation would you want to waste your time or salvage every minute, every second that you get?
“Procrastination is the thief of time”
For most of us, life is not so cinematic, but that is no reason for us to slouch into complacency. We have to embrace strain. Cliché as it may sound, we have to burn the candle at both ends. We suggest you to:
Hustle with all your energy and hard work. Strain and reach your elastic limit. Thrive a very ferocious attitude.
Great self is within you; embedded inside your soul. You need to get up from your chair and run out in the open to achieve what you always desired for. MAHATMAN means self-actualization and attaining goals by realizing your inner potential.
