#259 The Missing Link to Our Public Health Problem

Do you want to be the healthiest you possibly can be?

 

What about the rest of your family? Would you like your children to live a long healthy life? What about your parents...do you want them to be around for another 20-30 years?

 

Let us let you in a little (not really) secret to the one key ingredients that the healthiest (it actually applies to ALL levels of success) have that no one else does: Responsibility.

 

The health challenges that faced Canada in 2017 will only get worse in 2018. Suicide rates, opioid deaths, cancer, heart disease, ALL increased in 2017 (opioid deaths rose by a staggering 70%) and are all on schedule to keep climbing in 2018.

 

What can we do about this?

 

We are tired of the answer to this question being something to the tune of "more support, more awareness, more intervention, more funds, more testing, etc."

 

The answer is... and this is not going to be easy to read or hear for some...more responsibility.

 

It's tragic that people are suffering, it's heartbreaking that help doesn't exist for those who need it, however, more of what isn't working only makes things worse.

If the most successful people on the planet are the most responsible, then the lesson for you is practice responsibility.

 

The purpose of this podcast is to discuss the challenges, and virtues of practicing one of the 6-pillars of self-esteem, Personal Responsibility.

 

What we cover:

• The psychological need for self-esteem and how personal responsibility plays a role.
• How our modern society is destroying self-esteem and why that is dangerous for you.
• How this lack of responsibility plays out in health care.
• What needs to happen to you and your family to thrive and be the best you can be.
