Health is Wealth

People who are so engrossed with their works actually take one of the most important things in life for granted:  HEALTH!  Yes.  Health.  

Their work overwhelms them, fully filling their thoughts that even drinking water, eating meals, going to toilet are all set aside to complete and finish their tasks.

Continued practice like this could only lead to one thing:  SICKNESS.  Yes.  Sickness.

Yes it is true that we can accomplish alot when we do a lot.  But we should not take our health for granted because our body needs time to recuperrate from all the sleepless nights and skipping meals routine that we usually we do when there is a deadline to beat.

Adults needs at least 6 hours of sleep so that cells can replenish their lost strength.  And a good amount of water to balance the electrolytes in our bodies and to detoxify us from the acid build up due to stress.

So work work work and no rest is actually bad for us.  Because the moment our body says I NEED A BREAK!!!  we couldn't do anything else.  As a result, days at home mending the sickness and being "unproductive".  

So therefore, if we really want to achieve more in life and in our work, we should balance the hours of work and hours of rest.  Eat when its time to eat, drink when we are thirsty, and sleep when we are tired, even exercise like stretch, walk around to help circulate the blood in our bodies, and pause, talk to your friends when you feel like you're on the verge of exploding with the work that you haven't accomplish.

YES we have deadline, but YES we can die as well if we don't give our bodies what is due to them.  Yes we need to work but YES we need to rest too.

Our body is the only vessel of our GIFTS and SKILLS that GOD gave us.  So if the body gives up, all these will be useless and we can't contribute to HIS purpose anymore.

So before it's too late, let us love our body and pamper it with tender-loving-care... REST!  STOP blaming other people from GIVING you their FLU or COLDS or COUGH because they aren't the one to blame, it's US because if our body is properly rested and if we give our body what it needs, then there'll be no point getting sick.
