So, today was one of the stressful days in a very long time. The cause of which is private.
I was struggling on how to cope up with this stress today and I was reminded of the year 2019 which was one of the most stressful year of my life.
I read various books to develop the coping mechanism and one of them was “How to stop worrying and start living” by Dale Carnegie.
The author said in the page 15 of chapter 3 of the book entitled “What Worry May do to You”.
He said, “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world – and loses his health?”
It really helped me a lot. The other line that helped me from the same chapter was:
“Those who do not know how to fight worry die young.” ~ Dr. Alexis Carrel
It absolutely makes sense. What is the point of working tirelessly for money sacrificing your mental, emotional and physical health only to be unable to enjoy it when you make the money.
What is the point of making all these money when you can’t donate some of it to the causes you like.
Forget donating to causes some people do not even use the money for themselves even if they are healthy. They just let it rot in the bank. And Scramble to make even more of it. By using Unethical means.
Totally Ridddiculous!!!
This reminds me of one sentence I read in One of “Robert Kiyosaki’s” book.
“Poor People with a lot of Money”.
Yes. “Poor People with a Lot of Money”.
God grant me the wisdom not to be one of those people.
Amen!!
So, Health before mindless-money-chasing. Period.
Wisdom Before Dumbness. Period.
