The lesson of Prince and his death

The true lesson of Prince

Since the untimely death of the great musician Prince, a lot has been said about how much his estate is worth and which relatives are lining up to get a piece of his mega millions. Unfortunately, I have not heard a word about the real lesson we should learn from his death: What is the point of being rich if you don’t put a premium on your health?

As the old folks say “you can’t take it with you” and I say: you will be leaving it even sooner if you don’t make your health a priority. It boggles my mind that someone can have so much money and still be unhealthy. My feeling is that Prince was not as self destructive as some of those like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse who preceeded him, but still it is clear that being healthy was not top of his priority list the way it should have been.            How many times have I harped on the old “Prevention is better than cure” song? When you have that much money and you still don’t look like the picture of health, what is wrong with this picture? Enough said, make your health a priority no matter what your age or income. If you have to skip a little purple rain and glitter  to invest in your health then so be it.
