A Priceless Investment in Health
When we think of successful athletes, it's no surprise to learn that they spend significant amounts on their bodies. For example, four-time NBA champion LeBron James invests $1.5 million annually in his physical well-being. Similarly, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson disclosed on Bill Simmons' podcast that he spends over $1 million each year on his health.
These athletes understand that their bodies are their most valuable assets, requiring the finest fitness and recovery equipment. However, a substantial portion of their investment goes toward expert guidance—fitness mentors, chiropractors, massage therapists, and other specialists who ensure they stay in peak condition.
Are You Shooting Darts Blindfolded?
The average person’s approach to fitness often resembles shooting darts blindfolded. Many bounce from one exercise machine to the next without a clear plan, hoping for results that never materialize. Major gyms like LA Fitness and Gold’s Gym have shown that even the most advanced equipment is useless without someone to guide you, create a personalized plan, and hold you accountable.
Success in fitness—or any goal—requires a bridge between where you are and where you want to be.
Building the Bridge to Success
Suppose you want to achieve a healthier body, but your understanding of fitness is limited to basic cardio or yoga routines. The journey would be much faster if you understood concepts like body composition, the specific benefits of strength training versus aerobics, and how each type of exercise affects your overall wellness. Education is the key to building that bridge from where you are to where you want to be.
Here’s the truth: You don’t know what you don’t know. If you’re not where you want to be in your health journey, it’s wise to keep an open mind and take the advice of those who have the expertise. A bit of humility in accepting guidance can make all the difference between success and stagnation.

Why Wellness is the Best Investment
You don’t need to spend millions on your health, even if you could. But consider this: for every dollar spent on wellness programs, companies save $6 on healthcare costs and absenteeism. Additionally, 75% of healthcare costs stem from preventable lifestyle choices. Investing in wellness saves time, money, and energy in the long run and addresses the root causes of many health issues, leading to a healthier and more productive life. As Earl of Derby wisely said:
"Those who do not make time for health must eventually make time for illness."
This truth applies not just to individuals but to companies as well. Prioritizing health today prevents costly consequences tomorrow.
A Matter of Priorities
When someone claims they "can't afford" to invest in their health, it's often not about finances but priorities. Too many people allocate their resources to everything except their well-being, unknowingly setting themselves up for preventable health problems. The mindset of saying "I can't afford it" or "I don't have the money" traps you in a cycle of scarcity, perpetuating the illusion of poverty. In reality, the universe is abundant, and opportunities for growth and wellness are always available if you're open to them.
When you pray for something, the answers may not always arrive as you expect. Universal intelligence is always listening, but are you? Sometimes, blessings come disguised as challenges or in forms different from what you envisioned. You risk missing these gifts if you remain stuck in a limiting belief system. It’s crucial to recognize when the universe is offering you the tools for change and to have the wisdom to embrace them, rather than letting outdated beliefs keep you from the life you desire.
The Million-Dollar Question
So, how much is your body worth? While you don’t have to spend millions to maintain your health, it's important to remember that you get what you pay for—true wellness requires a thoughtful investment that delivers lasting benefits. In truth, you can't afford not to invest in your health.
