without a healthy mind you can never truly enjoy your health or your wealth.

I'd still rather be healthy and wealthy, my mind has been in the gutter for years so I no longer worry about that at all ;)

[Mary4now]

all the commercials, all the magazines, portray good looking "healthy" people who buy tons of vitamins, food, clothes, cars, "the american dream"  well the reality is that there are people with disabilities, no arms, legs, illnesses that arent running around chasing shiny cars, they are dealing with the system and trying to get through each day.
Evolutionarily speaking health was always an attraction for mating creating a healthy offfspring, I believe the people who do marketing understand this and how strong a biological preference it is so they use to "sell things"  
Basically we are fodder for the marketplace,  Dont get me wrong, I think health is very important,but I also believe understanding the importance of the true nature of our minds is more important.

I would rather be wealthy when it comes to buying things myself. Being healthy never really helps me with that.

"being healthy...so you can buy more things"

Huh?

[Mary4now]

very brave of her to come out like that, and make the effort to build awareness.  There is such a huge impetus on being healthy, looking healthy, sexy, so you can buy more things.  Our true worth is our ability to be a loving person going beyond our self satisfaction, appreciating the moment.  anywhoo, thanks for the video
