Your Competitive Advantage

"See reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it were. Change before you have to. Control your own destiny or someone else will. If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete."

--Jack Welch, former president and CEO, General Electric


Mr Welch was speaking about business, but I was struck by how much it relates to healthy living just as well.

See reality as it is.
That can mean a whole lot of things.
-Maybe you aren't 18 and more and you need to be a little careful with your workouts so you don't hurt yourself.
- Maybe it means you need to realize that obesity is a disease. It is not simply cosmetic. Being significantly overweight affects every aspect of your health and takes years off your life. Being around for the long haul starts with healthy habits today!

Change before you have to/ control your destiny.
- Don't wait until you have a heart attack to start exercising.
- Don't wait until your kidneys fail and you need dialysis before you take diabetes seriously

Waiting to hit rock bottom will can give you strong motivation for sure, but then you have a much deeper, darker hole to dig yourself out of.

Changing before you have to is difficult because you need to motivate yourself. It takes discipline. But it is much get to the peak of a mountain when you start your climb from the middle.

( I know I'm mixing metaphors, but this is my blog, I can do what I want! ;-) )

Not only that, but waiting to long may make it physically impossible to change. Waiting so long that you have blockages in your leg arteries can give you pain every time you walk to the mailbox. Imagine how tough it is to exercise when you are disabled like that.

Don't wait, control your destiny!

If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete.
