The day health goes, the plans go too

Foundation Regret·All ages

At fifty-eight he planned a world tour for after retirement — drew the route, made the budget. That winter a routine check found something with no warning at all. A year later, looking out the hospital window, he said, "Money isn't the problem. If my legs worked I'd go tomorrow." Bronnie Ware wrote that health brings a freedom very few understand until they no longer have it. Health is not a goal. It is the condition of every goal.

From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

— Bronnie Ware, Australian hospice nurse
