You are on a flight when the cabin pressure drops. Oxygen masks drop from the ceiling. The universal rule is clear: secure your own mask before assisting others.
This isn’t just a safety procedure; it’s the perfect metaphor for life. You are of no use to your dreams, your goals, or your loved ones if you are struggling to breathe.
Your health is your oxygen mask. It is the foundation for everything else. Your health is the most important thing in life.
We often treat health as a separate project—"fitness" or "diet." But it's not a side quest. It's the main game. It's the foundation you build your entire life upon.
Your Career: You need mental clarity to solve problems and physical energy to seize opportunities.
Your Relationships: You need emotional resilience to be patient and present for the people you love.
Your Passions: What good is a dream if you lack the vitality to pursue it?
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s consistency.
It’s putting your mask on first, every single day.
