\u201c…Men do not sufficiently realize<\/p>\n
that their future is in their own hands.<\/p>\n
Theirs is the task of determining first of all whether they want to go on living or not.<\/p>\n
Theirs is the responsibility, then, for deciding if they want merely to live,
\nor intend to make just the extra effort required
\nfor fulfilling, even on this refractory planet,
\nthe essential function of the universe,
\nwhich is a machine for the making of gods.\u201d
\n\u2015 Henri Louis Bergson<\/p>\n
\u201cTo exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2015 Henri Louis Bergson<\/p>\n
Dr. Hinohara quoted from Bergson, concluding that YOU are the designer of your own life. Then he recited his own poem which summarized his message for us to live a more radiant life:<\/p>\n
Change the Way You Live
\nAnimals cannot change the way they run.
\nBirds cannot change the way they fly.
\nBUT human beings can change the way they live.
\nWe, as human beings, can design our own destiny ourselves.<\/p>\n
YES! *******************************************************************************<\/p>\n
One of the startling data shared was that in US. 70% of population are obese; whereas in Japan, 25% are considered obese based on Body\/Mass\/Fat index measures.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Hinohara, the following disciplines \u00a0determine our health and well-being. Seemingly common sense but coming from a 102 year old doctor in practice for nearly 80 years, it makes you realize this: \u00a0We know what’s good for us by intellect, but we don’t necessarily do what’s good for us because something prevents us – what prevents us from doing what we know is good for us?<\/p>\n
His tips were interesting… and rather convincing especially coming from someone like him. \u00a0I think I will hit the studio now:)<\/p>\n
