I never want to try to be a spokesperson for health and wellness because I most definitely am not the most in shape person in the world.
We each have a personal myth a vision of who we really are and what we want. Health means that part of what you want is to give to others.
Nor is it the least advantage to health accruing from such a way of life that it expose those who follow it to fewer temptations to vice than persons who live in crowded society.
That's why I wrote this book: to show how these people can imbue us with hope. I read somewhere that when a person takes part in community action his health improves. Something happens to him or to her biologically. It's like a tonic.
The voice collects and translates your bad physical health your emotional worries your personal troubles.
I'm always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products testing on animals and the health benefits of being vegan although I'm probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment.
When President Obama passed health care reform it was personal! And when Governor Romney says he would repeal Obamacare and put insurance companies back in charge of a woman's health that's personal too.
The health care system is really designed to reward you for being unhealthy. If you are a healthy person and work hard to be healthy there are no benefits.
If we can make the correct diagnosis the healing can begin. If we can't both our personal health and our economy are doomed.
True health care reform cannot happen in Washington. It has to happen in our kitchens in our homes in our communities. All health care is personal.
My personal feeling if I can interject a political note is that I don't think it is right that basic health care is a privilege. It shouldn't be. It should be a right of all human beings. And certainly in the richest country in the world.
Do we talk about the dignity of work? Do we give our students any reason for believing it is worthwhile to sacrifice for their work because such sacrifices improve the psychological and mental health of the person who makes them?
I have never yet met a healthy person who worried very much about his health or a really good person who worried much about his own soul.
I've made a promise to myself to be a 100% healthy person if nothing else.
I stand before you a totally healthy person.
My health may be better preserved if I exert myself less but in the end doesn't each person give his life for his calling?
My personal goals are to be happy healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.
When the honour is given to that scientist personally the happiness is sweet indeed. Science is on the whole an informal activity a life of shirt sleeves and coffee served in beakers.
The thing is when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage and because I went on to have a very very unhappy two years I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.
The truth is that relative income is not directly related to happiness. Nonpartisan social-survey data clearly show that the big driver of happiness is earned success: a person's belief that he has created value in his life or the life of others.
In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love.
It's good to follow the path of personal happiness to some extent. People tend to get upset however when you drive a steamroller down it.
I've never seen an obese person who has said 'I am well in my mind.' Happiness stops food being a compensation.
He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.
Plenty of people miss their share of happiness not because they never found it but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.
