HOW UNGRATEFUL YOU’VE BEEN
Recently, I was terribly ill. But in all the pain and battle for my health, I was thankful for the profound lessons l learnt.
In our quest for success, fame and wealth, the greatest wealth we can have is our health. With good health, you can enjoy the seemingly little things of life but with poor health, regardless of your wealth, they will stand for nothing.
For instance, a rich man with poor health is worse than a prisoner whose health is fine. In fact, if your health is bad, you will be willing to trade your entire wealth for your health. That’s how crucial health is.
Like a car, once the engine is bad, irrespective of the other things, it is useless. Though you can change the engine, you can’t change the engine of a man.
Now, how much can you trade for eyes? 1 billion dollars? Of course not! Can you sell your sense of smell, your legs, your family/kids for all the money Bill Gates and Dangote have? Most certainly not.
That’s how wealthy you are but you overlook and fuss over things that are not as vital. Truth is, 70% of the things in our lives are going on great and if you focus on that, you will be happy but if you focus on the 30% that isn’t, you will be depressed.
A mere sore throat means that even being able to swallow your saliva is a blessing. Thus, Meister Eckhart says, “If the only prayer you say in your life is “thank you,” that would suffice.
