Have you ever thought of the fact that what each of us wants in life can be described in just two words? Even more to the point, though the words may have somewhat different meanings, there is only one letter difference between them.

Note that Health begins with he that could be she because it’s non-generic, but really means ME. That’s because health is a very personal thing. It’s all about me. No one else can have my health, nor can I have anyone else’s. Beyond that, unless I have good health, little else matters. So Health must come before Wealth, just as H comes before W, in the alphabet.

When we have and maintain our health we can move on…and not before then. It’s important to remember, too, that health is a three-dimensional entity. There is physical, mental & spiritual health. The three are interrelated and interdependent. We can have one without another but won’t be truly healthy until we have all three.

Once we have our health, we can work on our wealth. Now isn’t it interestingly prophetic that wealth starts with we. Could it be that wealth is more about relationships than it is about money, status or prestige? Perhaps real wealth is happiness and contentment.

We don’t have to look far to notice that one can have money, status and prestige without being happy and content. But it is a difficult task, indeed, to find anyone who knows and practices the keys to effective relationships, who isn’t happy and content.

So learn and practice the keys to effective relationships so that your friends and acquaintances will say to themselves, when they think about you, “I like me best when I’m with you.”
