HEALTH COMES FIRST BEFORE WEALTH As I FOUND OUT PERSONALLY
Health by far is always the most important, and having been a workaholic since starting my own businesses, I was killing myself slowly, and didn't even know it.
My wake up call was a headache which wouldn't go away after a week, and it got to the point I was about to smash my head through a wall. Stress, migraine, blood clot, who knows, I spent several days in hospital going through every test you can think of with answer. It took morphine dose to control pain to wake me up about fact I never wanted any drugs of any kind in my system, this morphine created the most horrible dreams imaginable, so it was a life changing moment for me.
Since I never knew what caused this, I got paranoid, so I started my quest towards a healthier life through education and research into every health alternative available, and thankfully, I have not had another headache in twenty years since. What I experienced changed my life, yes, I still am a workaholic, but no longer do I have a traditional business with all the stress of making payroll, taxes, covering overhead, hiring and firing, no more stress since I moved to the internet world of business with no office, just my laptop and comfortable home office.
After the headache, and selling my business, I tried retiring for a couple years to FL, and the first couple months was great, the stress was gone, no headaches, got to fish all day, golf, whatever I wanted, but I missed working, creating, helping others, all the reasons I went into my own business to start, so early retirement was not for me. lol In the end, when I saw the potential of the internet back in late 80's before it was commercial, I said this is the answer. My first experience online was to become a moderator for AOL using my experience in business to help others, and one thing lead to another and my new online internet business was born and I have never looked back.
So valuable lesson was learned, stress can kill, or at least in my case, cause unexplained headaches, but it was the wake up call to a healthier lifestyle which includes organic foods, no sugar, no white bread, no pastuerized milk and above no diet or any soda pop. It all began with getting educated about all natural health alternatives, and now with lesson that OPTIMUM HEALTH is the most important thing in my life now, so my advice is to get educated on all natural health alternatives, don't let the doctors drug you up without being educated first.
