See, as I was excitedly telling a friend about the show, I
also mentioned that he was still in incredible shape. Her reaction? “Well, that’s what money can
buy for you.” Ummm, I had to pause at
that and change the subject. There is
something so wrong with that statement, in my opinion. Money cannot buy health (or happiness for
that matter). On the same note, being
poor doesn’t make you unhealthy. I
realize these are general statements, but for the sake of this blog I’m going
to pretend that we’re only talking about people living in the United States.
Being healthy is a choice!
It’s a mindset. There are no
magic pills that melt fat (yet). I’m
willing to bet that even if you are on a limited income, you can eat
healthy. Eating healthy is cheaper than
eating poorly. You could even grow your
own produce from scraps. And, as far as
working out…running, squats, pushups, sit ups, dancing, walking, all of these
activities are free and easy to do wherever you are. Drink
lots of water!
My point is that being healthy and fit has very little to do
with your income. I have known “rich”
people that are unhealthy and poor people that are healthy and happy. It is a mindset based on self
discipline.
No doubt Billy works hard on his abs. Money can’t buy someone else to work his abs
for him. They’re his! I can’t help but wonder what he would say to
someone who said that his body looked the way it does because of his
money. Would he be offended? Nah, not Billy!
He would probably curl his lips up into his signature sneer, nod his
head, then turn and walk away.
