Without Your Health?

I remember growing up and being consumed with trying to accomplish "GOALS".  You are supposed to get good grades - get into a good school - and get on a good career path.  It all seems so simple, what could possibly stand in my way?

Throughout our youth and young adulthood, some people would always say "it's all for nothing without your health".  Although I heard them, I never listened.  Actually, I never gave much SERIOUS thought to it.  Then in my mid twenties, I began experiencing health issues.

It's amazing how you go from giving zero thought about your health (taking it for granted), to having it consume 100% of your thoughts.  Some people are fortunate enough to learn this lesson at an old age while others are born with challenges that never afford them the luxury of taking their health for granted.
