health is wealth

Seven of my favorite quotes on health....

“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.” – Herophilus

“Self-care is not selfish. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” – Eleanor Brown

“Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live.” – Jim Rohn

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basic of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” – John F. Kennedy

“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos — the trees, the clouds, everything.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

“To keep the body in good health is a duty…otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear.” – Buddha

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” – Mahatma Gandhi

The value of good health is one of the most unappreciated assets of life--most of us really don't value it until the good health we have is taken away, or we get a health scare that shows us how valuable being healthy is.

Even something as little as a sore back or an extended visit from the flu can remind of us, momentarily, of how lucky we are to have our health. But once we feel better, many of us fall back into unhealthy habits which one day may lead to a health event where we are unable to recover quickly.

Your body is the only body you get and it would be wise to take care of it as best you can to avoid any self-inflicted damage that could take away your health early.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
