Our health like our wealth is OUR OWN business!

Our health like our wealth is OUR OWN business! What are we doing to take care of ourselves?

I am not a Doctor, or health practitioner, nor am I a financial service professional. I am alive, so my state of health is important, especially to me. My personal and family wealth is also MY responsibility! As Don Lawson a health wise, and financially free man used to say, “I’ve been rich, and I’ve been poor, rich is better!” The same saying could be adapted for health, “I’ve been well, and I’ve been ill, well is better!”

Many people choose to abdicate their responsibility in both health and wealth; this is most commonly done by blaming someone or something else. Instead of taking responsibility for the choices we have made which led us to where we are now, we blame our health care system for the poor state of our health. We blame our family, employer or government for our financial situation! We blame our genes, culture or social status, or worse someone else’s culture for keeping us confined to our station in life! Remember, where you are right now is the result of choices you have made, where you could be (better or worse) is the result of the choices you make RIGHT NOW! Your range of choices may be limited by your current circumstances, but you will always have some choice. Your circumstances can be incrementally changed by making the best choice for your current circumstance and repeating. As your circumstances change so do the range of choices available to you!

Accepting responsibility is personally empowering! If we accept responsibility, we also accept the POWER to make changes, when we blame something else; we give it our power, and therefore cannot make changes, or take action, because we feel POWERLESS! We are ALL connected to the source of all power, and to each other. Surely with this realisation, we take back our power of choice, choose wisely and reap the benefits associated with those wise choices in our future as it unfolds in the ever present moment of NOW!

Education is the key, we must educate ourselves in order to improve and maintain our good health! The same is true of our wealth, the more we learn the less we lose while gaining experience! The more experienced we become the easier we will find improving our circumstances! Education has never been easier; the internet is full of commercial as well as free education! Exercise caution; remember anything free is often worth exactly what you paid for it!

The amount of choices available can be quite daunting. Start somewhere; take samples on your chosen subject from more then one source, cross check what you learn against more then one source. The truth is out there! Truth can be distorted but it cannot be destroyed, it will emerge even when it is actively suppressed.

One of the ways I use to narrow down the facts is to check them against what I already know. This is not foolproof especially if you do not know much about the subject, but with practice can be very revealing. Another way is to ask what the motivation of the source is. Ask an insurance salesman if you need more insurance you will usually get an affirmative answer from him, he is motivated to sell insurance to you, what you need is your business as far as he is concerned. He is correct, you should educate yourself to the point where you know without asking what you need, and then you should do whatever it takes to get it! As part of your education you can still ask the question, and then ask for justification, if their justification makes sense from your own perspective, perhaps you do need more insurance!

We are the light, against which darkness cannot prevail. Darkness only exists so that we can realise the light within us when contrasted by darkness.
