Why is it that somethings tend to come easily for some, while others struggle no matter how hard they try? I have noticed this about money, love, intellect and health.Let's consider health.
I'm one of those who use to take health for granted - as I am sure is not uncommon with most young people. However, with the worldwide buzz about Micheal Moore's movie Sicko as well as the constant barrage of news media we get about just how unhealthy people in America are, to have good health today is truly a blessing.
I have watched dear friends around my age (in their early 40's) lay victim to cancer, high blood pressure, etc. It is sad and hard to watch the suffering of the young. The earliest I remember a peer of mine dying was when I was in 10th grade. Mimi died of leukemia at age 15. She was way too young to die.
So, as I am blessed enough to be greeted by another day, I am thankful for my health. It is so easy to get emotionally caught up in the stuff we don't have like money or love. However, I've quickly learned that to have those things and not have one's health can be quite an unfortunate state.
Therefore, if you are blessed enough to know good health, use that as your leveraging tool to go out and live life to its fullest. Pursue the big dreams you've dreamed all your life for tomorrow is not promised, but we do have the blessing of the here and now.
Be Blessed and In Good Health.
