| Only the fittest of the fittest will
survive. But when the worst forms of materialism and conspicuous consumption,
causing obesity, heart disease and depression, riddle our lifestyle. Then
we cannot be expected to stand the test of time. So we take a quick fix
to ease our conscience. Perhaps use the gym, or go jogging once - but
not once a week. But then our favourite soap opera is on, ‘we’re
tired’ or we just can’t be bothered, so we collapse in the
sofa in squalid apathy. ‘Next week,’ is the excuse, as we
dive into a packet of crisps and belch, sitting in front of the goggle
box, depleting the life force, which is us. We have become something other
than what was intended. No. Holistic is the watchword and our guide, if it doesn’t work holistically, then question, reject or abandon it. Being fit for life is not a one-year course at Oxford University with one week off for good behaviour or an exclusive article in the local gossip magazine for the rich and famous. Fit for life, is a life (no pun intended) commitment, in personal and collective development. It will and does require work every single day, but the goal is tangible, to be a powerful and dynamic person, with balance, poise, personality and power. Now that is worthy to be any one’s epitaph - but not too soon, please.
