I once worked for a prime minister who was very highly respected around the world. He was in power for a long time and it was time for him to retire as the markers of aging were beginning to appear.
As election rolled around a young and able opponent from the other party was beginning to gain the support of the country and no one seemed able to stop the young upstart.
The prime minister had all the power and respect of his people but he wanted more; so despite his failing health, he mounted a massage campaign and proved himself unbeatable again. He was hailed a hero again.
He gained more glory than he ever did before but 3 weeks after his victory he died of heart disease.
He chose MORE over his health.
Many of us are doing just that – giving our health for greater wealth, greater power or more money.Do you know when enough is enough? Why strive for a whole loaf when just a slice will do?
