Living Authentically: Nurturing Your Mind, Body, And Spirit

Your health is your wealth. You are nothing without your health. You are nothing without a healthy mind, a healthy soul, and a healthy body.

You can do a lot more in your life when you have a healthy soul, when you are comfortable with yourself, when you are not afraid to listen to your inner self.

Do not ignore your soul. Do not ignore yourself. Don’t say ‘no’ to yourself. You do not need a lot of money to do what is right for yourself. You do not need to live a life that you are not proud of to do what is right for you.
