Empowering My Health

Dr Asa Andrew came to speak to us at work for one of our weekly devotionals. He gave us all a copy of his recent book, "Empowering Your Health". I have not finished the book yet, but I have decided that I am going to approach this book in the same way someone might approach Dave Ramsey for the first time if they were thousands of dollars in debt. Basically, for 2008 I am going to give this health kick a shot and give Asa the opportunity to change my life. My BHAG for 2008 is going to be related to my physical goals.

So, last night I was reading through the first few chapters and came to the Commitment Page. You are suppose to fill in your name, so instead I am retyping it below with my name inserted.

I, Ben Forrest, want to get well. I am committed to do whatever it takes, regardless of how hard it may be, because I am determined to live an extraordinary life for myself, my family, and the world, which needs me and all I have to contribute. I realize that God believes in me, and by signing this, so do I. I will not complain, make any more excuses, or settle for what my personal lifestyle choices have brought me. I realize that my past is gone, today is a gift, and by making new choices, I can have renewed health and renewed life. My best days are still ahead, and I am pursing life with passion, persistence, and enthusiasm.
