Are You Living or Just Existing? The Vital Role of Health and Fitness in a Life of Purpose

By Walter Lewis


Every day, I witnessed the toll that demanding jobs and endless responsibilities took on my colleagues in the federal government. I saw too many people pour everything into their careers, only to retire and fall victim to the health issues they had long ignored. It was a wake-up call for me—a stark reminder that life is too precious to be spent merely existing. Something had to change.


That realization drove me to make the hardest but most rewarding decision of my life: I left a stable government job to follow my true passion—fitness in 2005. I founded Walter Lewis Fitness Solutions with a clear mission: to help busy professionals like you take control of your health and, in doing so, reclaim your life.


This isn’t just about getting through the day; it’s about thriving, finding balance, and living fully—not just surviving until it’s too late. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to fall into the trap of just going through the motions. The alarm rings, you rush to work, grab something quick to eat, and collapse into bed, only to do it all again tomorrow. But let me ask you: Are you truly living, or are you just existing?


Existing is about merely surviving—getting through each day without much thought to your well-being or the future. Living, on the other hand, means embracing life with energy, passion, and a sense of purpose. It’s about making conscious choices that not only extend your years but enhance the quality of those years.


The difference between merely existing and truly living lies in how you take care of your health. When you prioritize exercise and healthy eating, you’re not just adding years to your life—you’re adding life to your years. It’s the difference between a life of vitality and one of regret.


We all must die someday—that’s a given. But how you live until then is entirely up to you. Will you settle for just getting by, or will you choose to truly live? The choice is yours. Take control of your health, and with it, take control of your life. Live fully, live purposefully, and let’s make those years count.


Don't miss out on our upcoming eBook, Beyond the Desk, where we'll dive deeper into strategies to help you thrive in life, not just exist. Stay tuned for its release (September 9th)!
