Financial Freedom in Good Health
What comes into the minds of many at the
mention of financial freedom is perhaps the ability to buy anything you want at
the time you feel like buying it because you have more money than you probably
need at that moment. That is wrong!
Wrong because of more than one reason.
One, there can never be more money in your possession than you need. In fact
the more money you have the more responsibilities you get your way. Consider
the very rich people around you, they are the people who are looked at whenever
there is a fundraiser.
And if they offer little donation then what they have given in good faith may not be viewed from a very favorable lens.

Everyone demands a share of your cash
when you have a lot of it. You will be called upon to support charities while
politicians will need your money for their campaigns. You have a lot of money,
you need class. You have to be identified with a certain top cream of the
society. So what do you do? You have to throw your money where the rest of the
members of that elite are throwing theirs.
Two, being able to buy anything is not
enough, but being able to derive meaning in what you buy is. What do you buy
with your money? Why do you buy what you buy? Do you buy because someone else
has bought the same thing or because you really need it?
How you respond to these questions will
determine whether or not you are free. Of course I will not be there to listen
to what your response is but you definitely will have one. And that answer will
sure give you a head start.
Slavery inside financial abundance
Let us begin with when you actually have
the money. How you use the lots of money you have may make you free, but on the
flipside; it may make you a serious slave. This is how:
- You go for an expensive item because the other rich folks who belong to your class are owning the same. It means you do not have the independence of conscience to decide for yourself what you really want. So you find yourself doing what is not exactly your choice of a thing. Perhaps I may just have an advice for you: quit the group think!
- Then, a lot of money, a lot of responsibilities, little free time, need to protect the money. I am not saying that having a lot of wealth is bad. No, it is really good if you decide to make it improve your life. You may realize that you spend much of your effort working on how to protect it. So this effort eats into you. You forget about your own health. Wake up!
- If you find yourself eating unhealthy diet because your money encourages you to do that, you are a slave of your money. If you work all the time to make wealth and have no time for exercises to boost your vigor then you are a sort of slave: a voluntary slave. A slave of your own lifestyle!
Gaining financial freedom
You might have noticed, or perhaps you
are yet to notice, that if you take too much sugary foods and fat in your diet because you can afford it, you grow fat.
Chances are that the muscles around your belly will be replaced with a mass of
fat and you slowly or speedily develop some pot. Then you become less and less
active.
Overweight, you are a delicate soul. You
are vulnerable to even some minor infections. Let me give you a very trivial
case scenario: if you slip, you may easily fall because you are less stable.
And because your body is not exercised enough to have a protective muscle
tissue, you will get hurt. Unless you seek medical attention immediately, you
may just find yourself bed ridden for some time.
Two problems: you use money to get the
medical attention and at the same time you are not productive because you
cannot work while on bed, when you are sick. These are two dimensions of
financial loss.
Look at the other side of it. If you
were healthy, you could be stable and strong. A minor slipping, say, on the
stairwell will not inflict any injury for you. Instead you will just rise and
proceed with your business. You save on the medical expenditure while at the
same time you continue with your productive work.
Another case involves your vulnerability
to chronic disorders such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, just to mention a
few. If you are suffering from any of these because you are overweight then I
do not have to mention how expensive your life gets to be. You are constantly
on pills, you work with life savers. The doctor becomes your best friend and
hospital your second home. Trust me, it is not an easy position.
Amazing alternative
All of us cannot be the same. There are
those of us who are already victims of the circumstances presented in this
piece. Well that’s life. But I’m here with an alternative, an amazing path to
real financial freedom. This is for the rich and the less wealthy folks. It is
an option virtually for all: accumulating money easily through promoting good
health.
It is simple. You live healthy, you seek
a healthy nutritional program, and you save on the expenditure that could
otherwise have to go for maintaining a delicate life. With your healthy life
intact you will have the freedom and vitality to engage in every imaginable
activity that will earn you some income. As a healthy individual you have the
power in your hands. You are a capable soul. You can do anything that gets you
the earnings you desire.
If you are the head of your family, you
make them emulate the healthy habit. You promote healthy living to everyone
around you. You save on any health related expenditure that could go for them
too…the time is now. Make that conscious choice today.
