In a documentary about Warren Buffett, the “Wizard of Omaha” posed this scenario to a group of students:

Imagine you were to be gifted a car — any car you wanted — and it would be delivered to your home that day. Whatever brand/model/feature set you wanted, it would be all wrapped up in a bow for you.

Here’s the catch: it will be the only car you get for the rest of your life.

Given the scenario, I’m assuming most of us would take extra special care of that vehicle.

The lesson?

We only get one body our entire lives.

What kind of person are we hoping to be and how good are we at taking care of ourselves to be that way?

The funny part in watching this scene is I know people who take extra special care of their car, their clothes and their personal belongings way more than they care about themselves.

It almost seems nonsensical someone would take a toothbrush to their shoes, but never to their teeth… or clean out the clutter in their homes, but not in their minds… but it happens.

Stuff is easily replaceable.

Your body and your mind?

Not so much.
