Although, in most groups of discussion, philosophy is not really considered something that one might approach whilst speaking of health, a good philosophy of life can indeed be a healthy thing to have.
Epictetus wrote that we shouldn’t worry about the things we cannot change. Certainly, If more people followed that creed there would be less anxiety this very day.
Poor Richard’s Almanac posted: “A penny saved is a penny earned”. No, a penny isn’t a lot of money but once saved we are that much closer to buying that extra pork chop at the grocery store.
Also from the Almanac we have: “ Early to bed, early to rise, keeps a man healthy, wealthy and wise”.
But for every philosophical gem there are caveats such as: ”It’s the early bird that catches the worm” and the retort, “but it’s the early worm that gets caught”.
Or....”The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” and again the retort, “but it’s also harder to mow”.
So now, with all that in mind, what are your favorite creeds or philosophical treats that we can all chew on and be a bit healthier for.
