Having a limited amount of time in our physical form poses the question "Do we want to live with a fit mind and body or one that is out of condition?" We have a choice.

If we choose to have a fit mind and body, then we will probable get a longer, more enjoyable life span. No guarantees, but we increase the odds in our favor. Eating sensible foods -- fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, etc. - ensures good nutrition. Regular exercise ensures strong lungs, heart and muscle tone. Physical fitness amounts to twenty percent of our well being. Now for the remaining 80% - we need to have a fit mind.

Taking care of our thought process takes careful consideration. Leaving it to chance by allowing other wrongly conditioned humans to educate us is not to be recommended. Many people are in a constant sleep during their lives. They become transfixed in a zombie state of mind - accepting all types of do's and don'ts as the normal way to live. To adopt this way of thinking will lead to many mishaps and perhaps an early grave.

When someone is starving we can send him or her food. If we continually send food, they become reliant on us. If we send them seeds and tools to plant - with a set of instructions on how to irrigate and harvest - then they come become self-sufficient. In today's world, we need wisdom. Intellect is not enough to overcome the pitfalls of the modern world.

My book is written in an easy to understand manner. Although you may not agree with all that is written, one fact remains - if you start to change the way you think, you will increase your life span and enjoy the remainder of your physical form here on this wonderful earth.

Michael Levy was born 1945 in Manchester, England. He grew up in a poor neighborhood in the inner city called Hightown. Although the area was in decline Michael was always on a high in his town. Nobody told him he was poor so he was never aware of his poverty. He always was laughing and joking. He left school at sixteen with no qualifications and did not stay long at any one job. When he was nineteen, married and a child on the way, he started his own business with sixty dollars worth of stock. He sold cloth remnants on street markets.It was here Michael started to learn the philosophy of life.

Every day was a joy. Michael has always known there is not enough days in anyone's life to think otherwise. By the time he was twenty-eight, he had built a substantial wholesale textile business. He also went into commercial property and dealt in commodity and stock markets. He remarried in 1982, and has lived in Florida since 1992.

From his earliest recollection, he always knew there was a force inside him that could not fail, despite all the people around telling him, "How stupid he was" and "he will never amount to much with such a carefree attitude." The more negative forces that were put his way the more joyful the experience became.

Nothing was ever that important and if things didn't work out well, there were always another day. There were very few days when he could not see the positive side to life. When he came to live in Florida, he had time to reflect on what took him to this point. Michael has now become an International Guru. A Prophet of Joy and we all can Profit from JOY.
