HEALTH is a broad word encompassing many areas of wellness. Physical health, mental health, social health, emotional health; being healthy can mean many different things, and although each of the ways we can be "healthy" is different and involves different elements, they are also synergistic.
For example, much research has supported the fact that physically healthy people tend to struggle less with mental health issues. The mind and the body are inextricably connected. Our thoughts and our emotions are expressed through our physical bodies, making them symbiotic.
The 'H' in HOPE represents each individual's state of health in different contexts. These can be measured individually in an isolated way, or they can be measured as elements that are connected and somewhat interdependent. Nonetheless, if we as individual human beings aren't healthy, all bets are off.
It doesn't matter what opportunities we've been given, what privileges we've been granted, or what we've been taught if we are not healthy enough to create purpose around these things.
One only has to look to Hollywood to prove that all the beauty, wealth, popularity, and adoration in the world cannot mitigate a sense of hopelessness and purposelessness in people who do not feel a sense of wellness and general health.
HEALTH, in all of its contexts, is the most important factor in ensuring that a person represents a positive outlook, a purposeful existence, and a sense of being connected to others in ways that are mutually beneficial.
