Which Came First? The Chicken Or The...

Remember the story of the chicken and egg? Which came first? The logic is you cannot have a chicken without an egg nor can you have an egg without a chicken! When you think of the connecting link between these two apparently different things, would the same reasoning not be held for two critical desires we all want in our life– a high degree of WEALTH and the HEALTH to go and enjoy it all? Can these two actually be the same, have equal value, and it doesn't matter?
I think they are and they do. If you have wealth but your health is extremely poor, what chance do you have to enjoy all that wealth is supposed to offer. If you have extremely great health and limited or no financial resources, it will not be easy for you to be mobile and express yourself to the world and share your great energy and all of your beauty.
There are scores of examples of people who spent years building their wealth, arrived, and it was over- they died or had a serious health issue which restricted their life and enjoyment thereafter.
For most of us, it is going to require a lot of focus, planning and patience to acquire the wealth we want in our life. Since this is the case, we need as much energy and clear thinking to aid us with this outcome.
I think it is imperative to consider that the two, the chicken and the egg, are interconnected and both need constant attention to achieve the desired results- wealth AND health.
If I had to side with one or the other, I think I would choose the egg. Why? Because the chicken is fully grown and is what it is, a chicken. But the egg, if nurtured, will grow healthy and strong according to how I feed it and look after it. The egg I own is my own health. I choose to look after it as best as possible. That way I know I will have the energy and clear thinking to guide my thoughts daily for wealth creation & long term growth.
How about you? Which is first in your mind?
Until the next post...
