Health or Wealth?

I've been thinking lately about this topic. Which is more important, health or wealth? If you had to choose between the two which would you choose?

Admittedly that is a hard question. So many people work a lifetime to achieve financial freedom and even when and if they attain it, they no longer have the good health they need to enjoy it.

What if you could have both? Would it be worth doing something a little different than the "normal" guy does? When I was first introduced to the concept of network marketing quite a few years ago now, I was astounded for two reasons. First, that I had never heard of it before and second, that not everyone was  doing it. To me it was the most logical, way of using time, energy and resources to maximum advantage. Rather than trading hours for dollars, which enables one to just barely stay on a par financially with the cost of living, it was a model that allowed for multiplication of resources. Who in their right mind would not want that? It is the same model that Jesus taught his disciples - the principle of teaching and training 2 who will each teach and train 2 and so on and so forth! Jesus' goal through the principle of multiplication was that the whole world would be reached with the message of His love and sacrifice within a very short amount of time.

I suppose that as we analyze this, it's clear that the whole world hasn't been reached, just as the whole world isn't doing network marketing of some product or service. I will be the first to admit that I would much rather spend the majority of my time fulfilling the Great Commission, but since it takes financial resources to do that,  network marketing seems like an ideal solution. Unfortunately too many people insist upon separating their lives into compartments and do not see a business in network marketing as an option for someone involved in ministry. Well, I digress...

Getting back to the health or wealth question, I have observed that some of the best and most innovative products and supplements that have a profound impact on keeping us healthy, have been researched, developed and brought to market using the network marketing model. Admittedly there have been plenty of bad companies involved in network marketing too, giving the whole industry a bad name as a result. So doing your homework is an absolute essential.

Another time I'll write about the criteria for choosing a good company to work with. But for today, let me recommend one that has had an impact on both our health and our wealth in a very short time. On another blog of mine, I've written about my own health turn-around through diet and supplementation so this isn't a new story for me; just a continuation of what has already had a huge impact on my life.

Since obesity is one of the principle problems in our society today, the company we chose to work with deals with that issue. And along with having real solutions that have a profound impact on health, this company has one of the best compensation plans we've seen anywhere. Check this out for real solutions to health AND wealth.

My goal is to maintain the best health possible and help as many people as possible do the same. And in the process of doing that, I know the wealth will be there to enable me and my husband to accomplish all the purposes that God has ordained for us to accomplish while we're here on this earth. Don't you want to do that as well?

My husband just sent me a couple of interesting links. One I have posted at my health related blog. It's called, 25 Ways to Improve Your Health.

Here is another fun one that links to a Youtube video, May the Farm be With You:
