Health Issues
“Humans are funny creatures. During the first half of their life they trade health for money. In the second half they trade their money for health.”- Unknown
According to James Altucher:
Lesson#7 Health
Day trading is no different than any high intensity type of job. Most of us would probably classify the work that we do as high intensity. Or at least medium intensity.
The problem with most people’s lives is that the things that are easy to do are also easy not to do. It is easy to exercise for half an hour and that is why it is easy not to exercise for a half an hour. That decision is a very small decision in the scheme of things. You will not drop dead if you do not exercise now BUT over the long run it will catch up to you with bigger medical issues.
The stress of the high intensity is another aspect of the job. Most jobs take their mental toll on us even when we do not recognize it. If you are waking up in the middle for the night thinking about work then you are stressed. It is as simple as that.
Whether it is physical or mental stress, the long term damage is subtle and it will eventually sneak up on us. That is why it is easy to ignore on daily basis. As the quote teaches us, if you are willing to work so hard for the financial freedom then work on your health as diligently.
Today’s question is:
“What are you doing to improve your health?”
