Beauty in the Hard

If I could talk to my younger self and give her one piece of advice besides my faith of course, I would tell her “Strive FOR 100!”

What I mean by that is treat your body as if you were to live to 100 years old. Feed, fuel, treat and love your body as if you had to be with it for 100 years. Would you want to reach 100 years and be stuck in a body that was battered, abused, poisoned and treated as something that was not absolutely precious? Boy do I wish I would have learned this at a much younger age. I took her for granted, I focused on outward things and focused on temporary happiness that have caused me to have issues that if I were to live to 100, it would definitely be a challenge. I am trying so hard to unlearn unhealthy ways now so that my children can gain wisdom through my misunderstandings. Though I could die tomorrow, what If I did live to 100 years old? What if I did live a long life and what if I were to depend on this body in the future? Well newsflash, no matter how old I grow to be, I will be in this body. So strive for 100 and treat your body as if you had to preserve it for 100 years! Treat her well, love her deeply, never take for granted all that God has blessed you with. Love the Lord with all your heart-soul and BODY! Honor it as if for the Lord. Strive for 100.
