Alright, alright, listen up you young folks. This here internet thing, it’s got all sorts of stuff, they tell me. Heard tell there’s this latesthealth * thingy everyone’s yappin’ about. So, I figured, why not, let’s see what all the fuss is about. Bein’ the best you can be, that’s what they say. Well, I’ve been around the block a few times, so I got a thing or two to say about that too. Ain’t no fancy doctor talk here, just good ol’ common sense, ya hear?
First off, this whole “self-discovery” thing. Sounds like a bunch of hooey if you ask me. But I reckon it means figurin’ out what makes you tick. What you’re good at, what you ain’t. Like, me? I always been good at makin’ biscuits. Light and fluffy, melt in your mouth. Tried my hand at knittin’ once. Ugly as sin. So, I stick to biscuits. Know your strengths, that’s what I’m sayin’. Don’t waste your time tryin’ to be somethin’ you ain’t.
They talk about “wellness” too. Well, back in my day, we called it “not bein’ sick.” And how’d we do that? Ate our vegetables, got our sleep, and worked hard. No fancy pills or potions. Just good food and a good night’s rest. These days, everyone’s got a different diet. This diet, that diet. Just eat real food, that’s what I say. Stuff that grows outta the ground, not out of a box. And sleep? Don’t be stayin’ up all night starin’ at that glowin’ box, the TV or whatever you call it. Get yourself to bed early.
- Eat good
- Sleep good
- Work hard
And this “best version of yourself” stuff. Sounds like a load of baloney. But I guess it means doin’ the best you can with what you got. Ain’t no point in wishin’ you were someone else. Just be you. Be a good you. Be kind to folks. Help your neighbors. That’s how I see it. That’s what my mama taught me, and her mama before her. Ain’t nothin’ new about it. It’s just good livin’. Don’t need no fancy website to tell ya that.
They got all these “tips.” Well, I got a few tips of my own. First, get off your behind and do something. Don’t just sit around waitin’ for things to happen. Go out there and make ‘em happen. Second, be grateful for what you got. Even if it ain’t much. There’s always someone worse off than you. Third, don’t be afraid to ask for help. We all need a little help sometimes. Ain’t no shame in it.
And one more thing. They talk about “transformation.” Well, life is always changin’, that’s for sure. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. But you just gotta roll with the punches. Don’t let it get you down. Keep your chin up and keep on keepin’ on. That’s the secret to a long and happy life, if you ask me. Ain’t no magic pill or fancy trick. Just good ol’ fashioned grit and determination.
So, there you have it. My take on this latesthealth * thing. Take it or leave it. I ain’t no expert, just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two. But I reckon I know a thing or two about livin’ a good life. And if you remember nothin’ else, remember this: Eat good, sleep good, be kind, and work hard. That’s all there is to it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some biscuits to bake.
And remember, young’uns, don’t believe everything you read on that internet thing. Use your common sense. It’ll take you further than any fancy website ever will. That’s the truth, so help me. And drink plenty of water too. Can’t forget that. Keeps you goin’.
