Medical Journeys

“Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.” – Greg Anderson, American athlete

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” – Mohandas Gandhi, Indian leader

Wellness and health play a huge and important part in my life, my actions, my thoughts, and my schedule. I am presently leading twelve fitness classes a week that vary from step aerobics, balance and core work on the large stability ball, weight lifting, modified yoga and several classes that focus on functionality. The participants are all ages and the common denominator is to have “fun” while working out.

When I started searching for “wellness” quotations, I found excellent ones, but few. Then when I searched for “health” I was completely blown away by the number. I could write a hundred blogs filled with “health” quotations. So I picked some for you and for me which follow:

Some general feelings:

• “There are six components of wellness: proper weight and diet, proper exercise, breaking the smoking habit, control of alcohol, stress management and periodic exams.” – Kenneth H. Cooper, American soldier
• “What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.” – Henry David Thoreau, American author
• “Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.” – Lao Tzu, Greek philosopher
• “To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” – Buddha, Indian leader
• “You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.” – Norman Vincent Peale, American clergyman

Those with a bit of a twist:

• “Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.” – Denis Waitley, American writer
• “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.” – Hippocrates, Greek scientist
• “You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.” – Judith Viorst, American author
• “Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.” – Thomas Jefferson, American President
• “Yoga is wonderful. It clears up most health problems. It also gives you an overview.” – Helen Reddy, Australian actress

And three to think about and work upon:

• “Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind.” – Mary Baker Eddy, American scientist
• “Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.” – William Hazlitt, English critic
• “The first wealth is health.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, American poet

Have a healthy and well week!
