Prevention

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

In a world committed to pleasure it is difficult to change unhealthy patterns. When taste buds override sensible choices I continue to do what is known to be harmful. It requires more effort to prevent illness than it does to count on medical help when sick. It requires spiritual strength ~ willpower ~ to do what is healthy for my body and my mind. Strength increases each time I do the healthy thing. Today let me choose prevention.
