HEALTH IS WEALTH

You may be aware that Health is more important than wealth.
I say, "Health is Wealth". I feel Health is the top priority to be given by all.

Probable explanation may be:

Initially I Squander my HEALTH in Search of WEALTH
Then I Squander my WEALTH in Search of HEALTH
Finally I lose BOTH.

What a True statement it is. But it's justification in the modern era is a bit difficult to bear because earning bread and butter is now a tough task to achieve for many. When a person has the option to choose health or living one must go for living because this is the short-term achievement for a person. One knows that doing nightshift is taking them towards bad health but still they are doing just because of earning the living. Therefore most of us are well aware about this true statement but not sure, how many of us truly adhering it.

As a young boy, I understood that life gives us what we ask for. Therefore, I thought deeply about what I was looking for. I realized Health on all levels is the cornerstone of having a wealthy life. After the realization, my first desire was to cultivate Health on all levels in my life. This has allowed wealth to blossom in my life as a result. In the end, happiness arose in me like the sun and moon in a clear sky.

This is an old proverb. It means that it is always better to be healthy than wealthy. A man may be immensely rich. He may have all the luxuries one can dream of. However, if he has a grave disease like cancer or something, all his wealth will become useless. He will not be able to enjoy comforts. He will be slowly crawling inch by inch towards death. Apart from that, he has to suffer the mental agony arising from his realization. He will be as good as dead. But if a man is healthy even if he has no wealth, he can be happy. As he is healthy, he can always work and earn his daily bread. He can lead a happy and contented life with what he has. As he is healthy, there will be no diseases to bother him though he may not be able to spend lavishly or afford luxuries. Therefore, it is true to say that health is better than wealth.

I am able to see the awareness for Health is coming in many cities in India these days. Let it spread like a virus and result in health consciousness for all.

Be Blissful
