We all dream of wealth beyond our wildest dreams, we all want a life without stress and financial challenges. The secret of a successful and happy life is so simple many people just do not get it.
When we are born we have someone take care of our wellbeing until we are able to go it alone. In my case I had a mother and father who did everything they could to ensure I had a good life. They made sure I had a roof over my head, food to eat, education and lots of love. Unfortunately in my parents time the education about health and wellness was just not there. Both my parents smoked in the family home and from an early age I suffered chronic asthma attacks. The link between second hand smoke and my health was never obvious to those around me, but from the minute I became old enough to make my own decisions I instinctively knew that I would never smoke. Today things are very different, the education is everywhere we care to look. We are told that tests have shown second hand smoke is harmful to our health, we do know that smoking causes many diseases, there is no excuse.
In order to enjoy the wonders of life we have to do some things that come as second nature, breathe,eat, sleep, and if we stop doing any one of these things there is a chance we could either die or suffer health challenges. Breathing clear fresh air is the best way to go, it helps our lungs work effectively and that ensures we can enjoy most that life has to offer. If you have ever suffered an asthma attack or some other lung disease you will know the pain and agony of trying to breath and the strain this must put on our lungs cannot be good. Why on earth would anyone compromise their health and smoke cigarettes in this day and age knowing the risks involved? Please do not tell me that smoking cigarettes lessens your stress or calms your nerves or you put weight on if you quit smoking. If you are trying to help yourself why not do it by chosing a sensible option such as not smoking and then look at healthy choices to deal with your stress or find a healthy way to maintain a good weight through management and diet choices.
Stress is a killer and recognizing signs of stress and finding ways to deal wth the stress is the sensible choice. Stress can lead to challenges in your personal and professional life. Some signs of being stressed may be lack of motivation, lack of appetite, wanting to sleep all the time, not wanting to sleep at all, eating too much, drinking too much, arguing with people, headaches, and many more. Finding healthy ways to deal with the stress in your life ensures you can move on to a better and more contented life without the health concerns that you may have when chosing less sensible ways to deal with stress.
Being financially secure is a wonderful way to help eliminate some of the stress from your life,having a job you enjoy is another way, and most importantly family and friends in your life. In the end the choice is yours and depending on the choice you make can make or break relationships in your life, ruin job prospects and even leave you alone and desperate.
In order to earn the money you need to live the life you enjoy you probably need to earn money. If you are not leading a healthy lifestyle and have lots of sick time from work this could lead to dismissal ultimately from a job you not only enjoy but need. If the employer is sympathetic to your health challenges and you are able to keep your job eventually sick time leads to other challenges. If you are not at work to carry out your duties someone else has to do your work. If no one is available you eventually return to work and have to work overtime to catch up. This in turn may lead to further health issues because you are overworking, not finding time to rest, eat, or relax, so in reality it is a vicious circle.
The answer is obvious, in order to be wealthy you need to be healthy, in order to be healthy you have to take the decision to lead a healthy lifestyle and make some changes in your life and be proactive in your health care. Gold, Oil, Diamonds, all the other commodities that appear to offer wealth beyond your wildest dreams are definitely valuable, but without your your health you have to realise there is nothing!
