How much is your life worth?

As I was driving back to work from lunch this question came to mind as I was thinking of ways to help others see their full potential.  I’m sure the answer for all of us is more than likely that life is really priceless, you really can’t put a price on life because it is a God given gift with the inability to have a number attached to it.  

Now this is an interesting concept because although there is no price for life, we often treat it as if it was worth pennies, I know I did.  I weighted 225 lbs., an incredible amount of weight for a person who is only 5’1.  At that weight my life had no value to me, I ate what I wanted and how much I wanted but I was miserable, insecure and as a result became a diabetic.  

I now value my life with a price tag of never ending zeros because it truly is priceless and I only wish I could have seen that earlier in my life before wasting as many years as I did. 

The reason why I share this is because the moment I was truly mentally ready to make a change, there were no more obstacles just solutions and answers.  I know that until you are truly mentally prepared to lose weight you will find every excuse as to why you are unable to.  When I decided to do it I found  a way, I stepped out of my comfort zone and did things that I never imagined I could do.  My life became more valuable with every pound I lost and suddenly I understood that my life was more important than the fried chicken or the Big Mac I was consuming all the time.  I realized that nothing that brought me comfort for a few minutes was worth the quality of life that God meant for me to have in this earth and that is a powerful feeling to have.  

I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and make small changes towards living your life to its full potential.  I want you to understand and come to the realization that your life is indeed priceless therefore you need to treat it as such.  I hope these words make a difference to someone out there who really needs that push, who really needs to see that another day spent living an unhealthy lifestyle is time wasted. 

How much is YOUR life worth? You tell me!
