8 Wish others well – but don’t wish to be them

One day, a friend and I discussed old times and laughed a lot.

Suddenly, the conversation took a surprising turn.

He became very serious and said, “Life can be hard”.

This surprised me, as he had good health and always seemed in great form.

He had a successful business, a big house and much money.

However, inside, he was sad and unhappy.

He told me of his son’s bad health and how he would gladly give away everything if it would make his son well again.

He felt helpless.

He had discovered that real wealth has nothing to do with material possessions.

It is, he said, “all about health”.

As you go through life, you will realise more and more that, very often, things are not what they seem.

Keep breathing well, making each moment the best and be grateful for the life you have.
