horse over so the saddle didn’t stop the roll ... and doing it while in the river. My fear was from the fact that there is nothing more dangerous than a downed horse struggling to get up., except a downed horse in a river where it is much harder for humans to maneuver. In fact, when I was in the hospital recovering, there were four other cowboys in there with me, and several were there because they tangled with downed horses. Jared must have been so full of adrenaline that he flipped the horse over with enough speed and power that it dragged him onto the horse where he got kicked and had to get away before he became a casualty as well. And that was the miracle, that he flipped the horse off me and came away without injury...and of course, he saved my life.
My Recovery
After waiting four days, they performed surgery. A gifted surgeon rebuilt my body from my right knee to my sternum with metal, including a cage up my spine. He was able to get the bone fragments out of my spinal column without paralyzing me. It took me a year to walk well with the aid wheelchair, crutches, and cane. How did Healthy Till 100TM lifestyle help?
Health
The doctors were amazed at how quickly and well I was able to recover and told me I was fortunate for having such a healthy and strong body. In fact, this is what made it possible for them to put me back together without permanent damage. Almost everyone I talk to who has had back surgery lives with back pain, many having to use narcotic pain killers to get through their days without constant pain. Today I live normally without back pain or pain killers and continue to fly and bike. (My wife banned me from riding horses!) I attribute these results to God and the secrets I learned back in 1982.
Purpose
This accident ushered in a perfect storm of challenge. In addition to physically recovering from the accident, the recession also wiped out a couple of investments that represented most of the money I had put aside for later years ... a lot of money ... and looked like it had the possibility of careening totally out of control financially. And last, all my free labor grew up and left our acreage. So, while recovering physically, I had to solve major financial challenges, and we had to make substantial lifestyle changes, as in sell our beautiful country home and move to the city. My purpose had become survival and recovery.
This is life. Purpose can and often has to change. Some purposes are temporary, and some will span a lifetime like spiritual purpose or living healthy till 100. The whole point of living healthy till 100 is to give you the physical and financial tools to weather these types of storms, and still have the higher purpose of living healthy till 100 or lifting others by helping them live healthy till 100.
Cash Flow
Ask yourself, if you were laid up and could do little or no work for a year, how would it financially impact your family? That was my situation. However, it had no negative financial impact on my family, because by this time my Healthy Till 100TM cash flow wasn’t dependent on myself doing the work. In fact, my income went up that year. It is called leveraged income, a residual type income, and I’ll explain in more detail how it works and how you can successfully work it.
My life is unique in that I have been in more accidents than the average person, but the principles that saved me in my accidents can do the same for you in everyday living. So many of us go through life spending a lot of time and money trying to solve health issues that arise, seemingly
