Health is your greatest wealth?

Nobody ever told me to take ownership of my health. I mean complete ownership, not just tit-bits of "do not do this" and "do not do that". Over the past few weeks I have been learning so much about how much health, wealth, emotions, socialising and mental well-being are all interlinked.

Still I am angry at a few people. The short of it is this - I fell ill a long time ago and didnt know it. It was only last year that I began to have suspicions that said "Maybe I'm sick." But now I have confirmed that I am sick and have been for a long time.

The people I am angry at are those who didnt listen to my whining, but instead took advantage of me. But at least now I am taking the steps necessary to recover my health.

And the doctors? They've helped a little but none ever gave me the complete picture and the extent of my illness. Seems like they were hoping I'd just get better and go away. The medication has helped tremendously - in fact, had it not been for the medication I would not have taken the steps necessary for health.

It's funny how much illness can draw so much out of you mentally, emotionally, financially and physically. But the road to recovery is sweet. I think health is your greatest wealth...
