Easy?

A friend asked me today, "What are you passionate about in your life right now?" And the truthful answer is health. That hasn't always been the case. I've spent so many years ignoring or outright damaging my health. But now I see it's value. Maybe it comes down to realizing what is easy is not always best. What is important is worth the work it takes to get there. Would I rather be able to just eat whatever sweet or fatty fried thing tickles my taste buds? Yes. It's easy. But do I want to live my life with the consequences that will render? No. That is not easy. Being tired and sick and weak is not easy. Not being able to do the things I want to do or not having the kind of energy I would like is not easy. So while eating healthy and exercising may not always seem easy, they are a whole lot easier than living with the results of the lifestyle choices I've made in the past.
