Health and Happiness

I wonder that if people spent the appropriate amount of time focusing on their health and happiness and not blaming other things for their downfalls, if we wouldn’t be less over populated, obese and depressed as not only a nation but as a world?

I keep hearing people blame not having enough time to exercise or do the things they want on having kids, if you’re not healthy and can’t maintain a healthy lifestyle while having kids maybe you should consider NOT having kids? Accordingly people continue to blame having a family (kids) on not pursuing their dreams or doing what they want in life. If having a family is so strenuous and stressful and detrimental on your health, happiness and dreams, then maybe we should consider the importance of having a family versus health and happiness.

Now I don’t want to play down the importance of having a family, especially for those who want and dream of nothing but that for themselves. I realize that I’m not the biggest proponent for families but all I hear on facebook among other social networking sites is wining. People wining on facebook or myspace about what they wish they were doing, which makes me laugh right out loud (LOL) because they could be out working on their dreams or finding ways to get themselves on the path to their dreams but instead they spend the better part of their day trying to find out who posted what or who’s doing who on their favorite social networking site.

I will end by restating my introduction, I truly believe that if people spent the appropriate amount of time focusing on bettering themselves, specifically their health, and quit blaming their problems on others (having kids) we would all be healthier, happier and more motivated to help others.
