Just a short reminder: HEALTH IS WEALTH

Those with good health pray for wealth and those with wealth pray for health. What an irony of life! Of what need is wealth with no health. A wealthy man will give up is wealth a thousand times when his health is at stake. A stingy man will freely release his resources when health becomes a concern. A man's empire can fall in a twinkling of an eye when his health deteriorates. A bad health is worst than an armed robber.

Oftentimes, the need to take care of ourselves become imperative when our health begins to deteriorate. We seldom see the need to do proper medical checkup when all is well with us. As long as the body gives no indication of pain or discomfort, the need to seek medical attention is of no need. Conversely, the vehicle gets serviced, the shoes get polished and our clothes get ironed but the health status of the body remains unchecked. Unfortunately, this has been our attitude towards our health for many years.

We often wonder why the older generations lived long in spite of the limited healthcare services that was available in their days. The reason may not be far from the kind of decision they made pertaining their health. Healthy living was a lifestyle for them. Today, we eat tasty food with damaging effect on our health and consume drinks highly detrimental to the state of our health. We tirelessly use our bodies to work for money and refuse to use the money we earn to maintain it. We lavish our money buying things to adorn the body while the body slowly degenerates.

Today, I just want you to realise that you can take many activities today because you have a good health. You can make money today because your health permits you. What happens when health is lacking? The true wealth is health because without a good health you cannot make wealth. Therefore the need to take good care of ourselves must be our utmost priority. Do not wear good clothes on a body that is lacking proper care. Take care of your body so that it can serve you for long.

Good morning!
