Keith Craft: The greatest gift you can give anyone is a healthy you.
The greatest gift you can give anyone is a healthy you.
The thought behind the quote
God created every person with a spirit, soul, and body. Many people recognize that they need to develop their spirit. I have grown up in church and saw many spiritual people who read their Bible, attended church regularly, prayed, and considered themselves to be good Christians (Christ-like), but responded emotionally the same way as people who weren't Christians. Americans spend billions every year on weight-loss products. There are work-out facilities in every hotel and every city because people are aware of the importance of staying fit. Yet, no matter how someone improves their body, they don't feel better about themselves.

When it comes to emotions, many people have been wounded by some type of dysfunctional relationship and hurt in their life. Many never mature in their emotions because they feel powerless to do so, and yet when you are healthy emotionally, you become a much needed gift to everyone to whom you come in contact. You can move towards emotional health and having a great Emotional Quotient (EQ) by:
1. Acknowledging your need for God. 2. Asking God to forgive you of any wrongs you have done. 3. Believe that God loves you no matter what. 4. Forgiving those who have wronged you. 5. Refusing to be negative. 6. Refusing to be offended by what could offend you. 7. Depersonalizing criticism and choose to grow from it. 8. Commit your life to personal growth and development. 9. Release bitterness about anyone or anything. 10. Seek to add value to people's lives.
Think about your EQ every day, and what you can do to be healthy so you can give the greatest gift you have to give...a healthy you!
