I came across a video of Warren Buffett speaking to a class. He asked them, if you could have any vehicle you wanted, what would it be?
And it will show up at your house once you get home…the class looks around at each other as if there is some catch. He says, yes, there is a catch…you have to drive this vehicle for the rest of your life.
He went on to say that if this were truly the case, you would take such good care of that vehicle.
Now, you’re not actually going to have only one car for the rest of your life…but you will have one mind and one body in your lifetime.
Whether or not you’ve heard this example before or not, it’s pretty powerful. Now, more than ever, is the time to take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally.
I’ve always been a fan of very independent people in the fact that they have figured out how to limit reliance on others in so many ways, which seems to be a dying trait.
In a world where these kind of people are increasingly rare, the most dangerous ones are those that have the capacity to take care of themselves in every possible way. Ownership equals freedom.
If you don’t have your mental or physical health, you don’t have much.
