I got to thinking about the “Building your future” story I posted recently.
A carpenter was asked to build just one more house for his boss before he retired and because the carpenter didn’t have his heart in this last job he didn’t do a good job of it at all. But after the house was finished the boss gave it to him as a present.

It reminded me of our lives.
Many people don’t realize that from a young age that in many ways we get to build our own future.
If we think it out, or are taught by parents and schools, that eating good (non-chemical) food and water increases our length of life, highly increases good health, in other words what we put into our body builds us a better future. Growing your own food means healthy food and good exercise that is natural and builds a body to last a lifetime.
Being physically active our entire life keeps our muscles, joints, and body in good shape so that we have a good mobile body in the latter years. Instead of taking the car to the shop we can walk, run, walk with friends to town or events etc. We have to make an effort to be physically healthy.
What we allow into our mind affects how we think. Put in garbage and garbage comes out. We need to make an active effort to avoid bad TV, trash books, magazines and movies, otherwise the cheap entertainment will seep into our thinking and how we talk and act.
Our character has a lot to do with how people see us, and what type of friends we will have. We attract who we are. Being a good honest helpful person will attract the same to you.
Good people we can love, trust, and who are faithful and responsible help create for us a better future.

If we think of our future as a house that we are building, then we can see that the future will be of a much better quality if we look after our health, body and mind.

We need to jump at opportunities for physical action and mental stimulation, wholesome fun times, good activities which are good for the mind, body and soul and will improve the future of our children because they are a part of your activities and life.
If you really want your children and grandchildren to have long, healthy and happy lives, please be the best example yourself that you can be to inspire them. Give them something to want to be that society doesn’t offer a lot of.
Your example will teach the younger generations how to be free and how to build healthy families, good communities and make the world a better place for all.
The greatest power to make the world a better place is to take our futures from the control of the rich, and to give that control back to the humble families.

If does not matter where you are in life, or your financial status etc, please do the best that you can, you can never regret your best efforts.

All the best from
