I still recall the phone call from my friend, an ex-colleague of ours, also a good friend, had suffered a brain stroke. He had it all – an impressive career, a loving family, financial stability, and big dreams for the future.
Yet, as he laid on his bed, paralyzed on the right side of his body, all his other aspects were meaningless.
My friend’s example illustrates a powerful truth: health is the “1” in the equation of life. Without it, everything else becomes a zero. Our relationships, career, financial success, and aspirations all lose their meaning and value when our health is compromised.
On the flip side, when we prioritize our health, it becomes the foundation for all other aspects of our life. With good health, we have the energy to support our family, excel at work, and pursue our dreams with passion and vigor.
Question to reflect – how are you taking care of the ‘1’ in your life in a holistic way – physical, emotional and social?
