My dad advised me never to let the fuel tank in my car run down to empty.
He said it would result in dirt from the bottom of the tank being sucked into the fuel lines potentially blocking them.
This obviously could cause a breakdown of the car.
There is an analogy here with the human body.
If we allow ourselves to deplete our reserves of energy, if we neglect to stop to refuel and rest our bodies we risk dragging up germs into our system.
Because the body is depleted, the immune system can be impaired and we are at higher risk of breakdown and illness.
So check your fuel levels often.
Do you need to refuel?
Have an early night?
Go for a walk?
Cook a nutritious dinner?
See some friends?
It’s always better to preempt problems. We don’t want to find ourselves on the side of the road waiting for help.
Let’s help ourselves first.
It’s much easier.
Thankyou Brian.
I miss you.
But I am thankful for the snippets of wisdom that got through before your body broke down and we were left stranded without you.
