Before you watch this powerful video (which garnered 9 million hits!) consider this:
Life is choices. Along with the freedom to choose our actions comes the responsibility of living with the consequences. Take seatbelts. You’ve seen the sign “Buckle Up. It’s the Law.” It’s more than a law. It’s one of the best preventative measures we can take to protect our health. In a Progressive Insurance survey, 52% of accidents occurred within 5 miles of home. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a quick trip to the store or long distance travel. One accident without a seatbelt can lead to life in a wheel chair or chronic disability, or even death. Make the choice to buckle up. It’s an investment in your wellness.
This powerful commercial garnered over 9 million hits on YouTube! It’s titled Embrace Life, and was produced for the Suffex Road Safety Campaign in the UK.
I was drawn to your website as it has a similar title to my blog. It truly is inspirational and I’m glad there are people like you out there promoting the mind body spirit connection. You are so right about taking responsibility for your actions. We are in complete control of our lives. More power to you!
