It is not unusual for a person to respond to "If you could have any three wishes in the world, what would you wish for? "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!" However, there is something more important than money...health. Health is the best first wish because without health you cannot govern your money well.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! What can a sick person do with money?...Spend it for health assistance and quickly be without MONEY due to medical expenses (just plain frequently being ROBBED).

Nothing is more important than health. If you have to make a choice between mental health and physical health, please choose mental health. A good mind is very important for it helps you to make the right choices in Life.

If your first choice is mental health and you are physically ill, you will be able to care for your physical needs. For example, knowing you are hypertensive, you will have to maintain a special diet and possibly take medications to prevent cerebral vascular accidents and heart attacks which could result in crippling and DEATH.
