Some living the most healthy life and living a long life practices are the same. I know God will take me when He decides to, but in the meantime - especially since COVID and a few other things, I have seriously concentrated on tightening up my fitness and what I put in and do to my body. And by fitness I mean doing different forms of exercise etc and paying attention to fitness markers and feeling well (instead of always nursing nagging injuries). Quitting work (for Hemsworth) is probably the best thing he could do for himself and his family. The only problem with quitting work when young (esp men I think) is you are in danger of loss of identity. You must guard against that. If you can manage it healthily (mentally) it is a great life.
It took me until 50 to smarten up about my body and life. I am a slow learner.
Indeed--why fear death, which is what brings us finally together with God? That would be totally irrational. But should I not thank God for each day he gives me by using that day, and my body, in ways that best serve Him? Therefore, I need to keep strong and healthy and practice stewardship over the land and material things He has given me.
Yes indeed and I am glad you replied with that. I pray almost every day for health, good stewardship for the things he so graciously trusts me with. I found you can pray with thanks for good health even when something serious is taking a dive. At least the other things are holding! Haha. I have had a health problem I have been dealing with - I have just reconciled that it is my thorn in my side and works to keep me in check. Hope I can do without it soon : ))
That's the way I'm thinking now as well (about life vs death). Of course, I'm at the end of my life road anyway at 76 (still have good health which I cherish and guard fiercely). It's all in Yahweh's omnipotent hands.
He may find a compromise. Working on projects in Australia, near his home or voicework or some other new venture. It doesn't have to mean quitting work all together. We also don't know what he has seen in his own family. If you see someone in your family fall into insanity, you have a different perspective.
My husband and I quite work 18 years ago. He stayed on for an extra two years and I traveled with him for his work. Then we were done. Not rich, but we are frugal. So far so good. When I left they offered me a raise to stay. No. when my husband left, they offered him money, ability to work from home, a better position and then finally threatened him. The only time we looked back is 2007/8. But it turned out OK - thank God. But we didn't go back because life was slipping away, we never saw one another and wanted something more and less stress. Stress was killing my husband. So, you see, if you can reach and recognize that you have reached a place where you can safely live on what you have and can manage the transition and have a loose plan for your longgg retirement and don't get greedy... ififif, people can and will do it and be happy.
I'll add that any time I get a notion (and I do) that if we worked to even 50 we could have been sitting on a Nordhavn 68, just the two of us out in the middle of nowhere (because that certainly would have been plan B) instead of... I thank God for the wisdom he gave us to know what was best in our lives. He guided us before we asked. A miracle. He has a plan. Eventually we got there. Wish it were sooner.
What a lovely reply. Thank you for sharing. I think we have very similar values: worldly frugal, but so rich in what really matters. I finished at 57 when my employer expected me to relocate offices and do two jobs for the same pay. I refused and walked away. They couldn't believe that I would do it - but I won!
Thank you. What nerve your employer had! especially in this day when fewer are willing to work! That had to be satisfying. I enjoy imagining their surprise and probably their own wish to do the same. Haha.
I don't know Home and Away, but who knows what path that family will take. I hope it is a good one! I hope yours is too! Many blessings to you and your family Marc.

I'll give Hemsworth six months before he's back (with a $$ film offer he couldn't refuse - apparently everyone has their price: mine is very low).
Anyways, his wife will have sent him back to work to get him out of the house, and out from under her feet!

PS Maybe Hemsworth could guest on Home & Away?
