A Wake-Up Call: When Your Heart Screams 'Enough!'
I'm dying. That’s what I was thinking after dropping my kids at school. My jaw went tight and then my chest went tight and the sharp stabbing pains started. To say I was freaking out would be an understatement. I limped the car home and curled up in a ball just waiting for the pain to hopefully stop. Once it stopped, I did the usual male response and decided to ignore it. Thankfully @Lexy Moore encouraged me to go to the hospital to have it checked out. I spent all day there hooked up to machines while tests were run. I was thinking "Is this it?" "Is this how far you have come?" "You are going to leave your kids behind, and what about that massive impact you said you would make on the world?" I was looking at myself, the life I’d created, and I felt ashamed of the choices I had made that had led me to that hospital bed. As they say, sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before you make a change, and that is where I am at. I think I will be fine, and I am waiting to speak to a cardiologist later today, but I wanted to share this as motivation to keep your stress in check and to be kind to yourself. As much as many of us are pushing so hard on skool, please don't lose sight of what’s important; why you came here. Don’t lose yourself in the process. ❤️
