Health or Wealth?

Health is precious. We strive to be healthy and lead healthy lifestyles. We go on diets. We workout. We maintain ourselves. Once you lose your health, you see the real essence of life. Many say health can’t be compensated with anything else. Even money can’t buy health. It is the precious gift from Allah.

When it comes to wealth, it is a tool. Some perceive it as something to survive. Others see it as something for future growth and development. Some get scared and shrink talking about it while others get excited and curious to learn about it. I personally see wealth as a test. We are ranked in this world as different categories, the rich, the middle class and the poor. It is a test to see how we gonna react. Some approach this with jealousy and resentment while others see it as a blessing.

If we talk about health and wealth, I think its not comparable. Both are different. But wealth can be used as a tool to help retrieve health if someone is struggling with it.

Wealth comes in different styles and forms. Many believe its only money that represent wealth. Actually its not. It comes in various forms like a scholarship, a promotion, a new career, shifting to a new place, receiving a gift from your loved one, recovering from an illness, and even the knowledge about wealth too.

It is interesting and eye opening to think about wealth and health using different perspectives. Most importantly remember not to lock yourself in a box because of it. Because thinking about this a lot can limit the options in front of you and make you stuck in one position. Just move with an open heart. Reflect. Adjust your philosophies towards them and get the big picture.
