As we move into a new year many of us seize the opportunity to set goals, to make changes to our lives and overcome obstacles, in the hope that this will lead us to be happier, more productive and healthier. Is it fair to say that the majority of people place 'wealth' as a top priority? After all, is it not the most sort after outcome of the majority of endeavors in life? But what is true wealth at it's core, if not health and wellbeing? If we are not well, our function is impaired and the severity of our impairment increases the longer we function under the strain of impaired function. Focusing on wealth as the ultimate outcome of our lives, is not logical. The health and functioning of ourselves, the wealth generator, is paramount, and therefore the need for health and well-being, surpasses the interests of wealth itself.
