The Marathon of Life: How Pacing Yourself and Investing in Your Future Can Lead to Success

-


We often hear the saying, "Life is too short," but in reality, life is long. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And just like in a marathon, the key to success is pacing yourself and investing in your future one step at a time.

When it comes to our health, it's easy to underestimate the impact of small daily choices. But in reality, our health is the accumulation of what we do each day. Just a few weeks of inactivity and poor diet can raise bad cholesterol and blood glucose levels. On the other hand, a few weeks of exercise, a nutritious diet, and a positive mindset can have a significant impact on our health.

The same goes for achieving success in any area of life. By making small, consistent investments in our personal growth, relationships, and career, we are setting ourselves up for long-term success. Just imagine doing one thing better daily for 365 days, even if it's small. The benefits will accumulate over time.

It's also important to remember that success is not only about what we do, but also about how we think. A positive mindset and a strong sense of purpose can help us stay motivated and focused, even when things get tough. By investing in our mindset and purpose, we can ensure that we are living a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

We are constantly evolving and growing as individuals. It's okay to change our goals and aspirations as we learn more about ourselves and what truly brings us happiness and fulfillment. Embracing change and being open to new opportunities is an important part of investing in our future.

My Living Room - A perspective!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni Let me tell you a story. In my little town, I was known for my charming but quirky home. One day, a small leak developed in the ceiling of my living room. At first, the leak was just a drip - a tiny nuisance. I placed a teacup under it, amused by the occasional plink of water. But as time passed, that drip became a constant stream. I turned my living room into a maze of bowls, cups, and pots to catch the water. It was a sight to see, and my friends found it amusing. The real trouble began when the water started damaging my furniture. My favorite chair, a relic passed down from my grandmother, was the first casualty. Its fabric bloomed with damp spots, and the legs weakened. But I was too caught up in my solution to see the problem. Instead of fixing the roof, I threw a party to unveil a new, expensive armchair I bought, thinking it could simply replace the old one. Unfortunately for me the new armchair didn’t last long either. In addition, several other issue

Want vs Need: Reevaluating Health Priorities

Do you want to lose 20 pounds?  Do you want to lower your bad cholesterol?  Do you want to maintain a consistent workout routine?  Do you want to enjoy better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed?  Do you want to adopt healthier eating habits? At first glance, these may seem like personal desires, but what if they're actually fundamental needs for our health? Lets consider few simple scenarios to clear this a little bit. Often, we sacrifice sleep and stress over work to ensure our loved ones' happiness. We grew up believing the idea that Food, Clothes and Roof over our heads are the basic needs. What if there was more? Think about this:  If you had a pounding headache, could you give your kids quality time?  If you had a stomach ache, could you be affectionate with your spouse? If you have a bad back ache, what quality of work can you produce? Now let's pause for a moment and think deeply about another scenario:  You're battling a terminal illness. Would you be concerned

The dose makes the poison!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni   This principle is the cornerstone of modern toxicology practice. The idea is that even harmful substances, such as poisons, are safe to consume in very small doses. For example, many heavy metal poisons such as Arsenic or Lead are ever present in our environment. Therefore, they are also present in many foods we consume in minute quantities. Toxicology experts have studied their effects on the body and that knowledge has been incorporated into the regulatory guidelines such as those provided by the FDA for foods that are marketed in interstate commerce.    But this principle is not only about poisons. Even harmless substances such as water can become poisonous if consumed in large quantities. Our diets have gone so far out of whack with our nature that most people end up suffering the consequences of overdosing on foods that become poisons.    Since I have been wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for a while, I have noticed how the dose does make the poi
