You know, the only thing that stays with you from the moment you're born to the moment you die is your breath.

Your family changes, your friends change, the country you live in changes, your jobs change.

He said everything in your life changes, but what you look changes, what you like changes, what you wear changes,

but your breath stays the same and it stays with you. It's always with you.

Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the number one health podcast in the world.

Thanks to each and every one of you that come back every single week to listen, learn and grow.

What an amazing, amazing week it has been. I hope that you've had an incredible week too.

And whether you've been feeling challenged, pushed, weakened, strengthened, more empowered,

whichever end of that spectrum you're on, you're alive, you're breathing, you're here.

Are you stopped breathing? Or you can wake up tomorrow and be breathing but not have $10 million in your bank account?

And everyone of course said, well, I'd rather be alive than have money in my bank account but not be alive,

which means that our life is more valuable than that amount of money.

Our breath is more valuable than that amount of money.

When you think about that, you start going, wow, I take this breath for granted every day.

How many times have you ever been out of breath? And when you finally catch that breath,

you feel, now I feel centered. Or you've been running, you've been playing sport.

And finally, you're able to take a full, deep breath. Or maybe you're someone who struggles with asthma

or has some sort of breathing challenges. When you feel you can breathe, isn't it just a special feeling?
