The things that we do--the way in which we live--whatever lifestyle it is that we have chosen...it does not and will not ever just affect us.
It affects the children that we could one day have...
The children for which we would wish good health, a good life, and a life of all the joys that could be made possible.
If we have chosen to be destructive to ourselves, no matter if it is emotionally or physically, our children will suffer the consequences...and I do not think that it is fair for a child to suffer illness because the mother was a smoker, a drinker, or a junkie. Even if she was battling the diseases of the self -- depression, anxiety, anorexia, or bulimia.... the child will still suffer in some way.
I know that I cannot change the world...but I also know that if I can do anything, let that be to treat my body and my spirit with the love and care it needs. Let it be a movement of the self...to treat it with loving kindness and to be grateful that it was given to me as a gift...so that I could live.
We are, after all, meant to live and then die once we have lived a long and fulfilling life...
We should not die as victims of disease
And children especially should never die from the things which can be prevented by the simple act of me, you, and us, doing the right thing -- living in health and wellness, promoting vitality, and by walking away from our unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.
We can all walk into health together... but the question I leave for you today is.... will you?
