If you really want to screw up any chance you have of succeeding then drink alcohol take drugs and stop exercising. Your body may be in pain some of the time. We all have more days like that as we age. Learn how to deal with it without drugs if you want to succeed.
At thirty I could move concrete using a loaded scoop shovel ten hours a day. I almost never hurt and could live on four to five hours of sleep. I was lucky to have that much energy. Few people actually start with that capacity for physical work. You don’t need that to succeed.
Working at the computer for a few hours burns up enough energy to tire me these days. Part of that is the fact that I am fighting to lose quite a few pounds. I stopped exercising for a long while and gained too much weight. Part of it is also related to my age, I am in my mid-sixties.
I am working with a doctor who has told me in straight terms what is going to happen if I don’t lose the weight and exercise. It is not a pretty picture. This is simply a cautionary tale by someone who knows by sad experience. I can tell you what age and even the simple drug of too much food can do to you.
I can also tell you horror stories about entrepreneurs who made some money and bought into the idea that drugs could improve their lives. I’m sure that you can probably tell me a few more. Success is great. Handling it can be hard. Never getting there in the first place is tragic.
Nutrition is vital and good food in moderation is part of the recipe for success. Don’t hesitate to spend money on good food. Do not pick up the fast food habit as a way of saving time. If you doubt how bad that can be for you read “Supersize Me.”
There are lots of good ways to learn about proper nutrition for managing a life of stress. Health is one of the cornerstones of success in business. Some people are so brilliant that they get there without taking care of their health. Don’t try to imitate them!!! They never really get to enjoy it for long.
