Thoughts on health, time & life.
Our health along with time are the most valuable things each of us will ever have.
Without either we don’t have much of anything.
With so many things going on in the world I see all sorts of arguments put forward, polarised opinions and statements being made as though they are facts often based on very little evidence or experience.
In general people put wealth & status above their health & lifestyle choices.
Without the latter the former mean nothing & are therefore of no real value.
My own experience of severe illness taught me things in ways I never thought I’d have to discover, but I did, that was my reality. I never thought something like that would happen; it did regardless.
At a point I knew I was in real trouble, I didn’t care about how much money I had, how big my house was, what car i drove…it meant nothing.
I’d of given all of it up in an instant just for the opportunity to feel well again.
You think of everything you never did, the things you said no to, the experiences you may never get to have. Your friends, your family, how things will go on without you even.
Sure we all need money to live & to make life easier, at the point that becomes a priority over the fundamental things in life; I’d say take a step back & check who you are, what you are & where you are aiming to get.
Is it honestly worth it if this moment were your last?
People have the view they know how they’ll be in any new given situation.
You don’t, how can you, there’s no way of knowing until you are in that position regardless of what it is.
Don’t waste your time & therefore your life on things that ultimately aren’t the most important to live a good life.
Make sure your priorities are right for you & your life. As far as we know we only have 1 chance, irrespective of spiritual/religious views.
Focus on discovering who you are every day, not what you think you might be if x,y or z happen or what others want you to be; find who you genuinely are & what makes you happy. Do it for yourself first.
Don’t waste a moment of your life, you never realise how precious it is until you almost lose it.
Work continually at being better today than yesterday and keep doing it!
