i had a health problems in 2003... I realized that everything can be taken away from you in an instant.

You can go go from walking around feeling strong as an ox one day.... Then being reduced to limping slowly due to pain

by 2005 I was back close to 100% (and was absolutely 100% by 2007)

I used to live in nyc for 6 yrs my family decided to move so now am livving in Zimbabwe Africa. Electricty outages occur everyday, sometimes we go for a week without. We also go for days without water too sometimes. There is no wifi here Can't find gh only testarona here. Decent gyms here no treadmills. Goin to live on campus at a uni, it only has 1,200 students here. My school has the highest % of students with AIDS in the world. Tuition is $3,000 a year. All this compared to where I lived in nyc really humbled me.

Getting divorced shook me up. But going broke humbled me. I had a better shot at millionaire than broke at that point but fucked it all up, all by myself. Realizing that it was my decisions that mattered made me want to make better decisions about my whole life.

its amazing how you feel that your invincible, and then boom, something happens, and you realize that most of the shit that you used to bitch about dont even matter, life is more important than that..

having trouble with my liver/bladder and bilirubine in 2007, not because of ass.
i lost weight and feel drained all day long for 6 month.
i remember one morning watching myself in the miror, yellow, skinny, i thought i was going to die seriously;it's a strange feeling.

then in second when i broke up with my gf in 2010.

i'm a kind of buddist now, i'm an humble, quiet and realist guy.

Divorced almost 5 years ago. Took me 2 years to blow my money. Met my current lady midway through that, broke up a lot, fought. She stepped into a tornado. Spent almost 8 months apart, rebuilt my life, restarted my work.

I'm still "broke", meaning I spent every penny I earned and my retirement too. But I make good money and I'm smart and able and healthy. I'll work as hard as necessary to provide for my family and live in comfort. I rent an apartment but will probably buy a condo soon. I'm working extra hours but I'm doing it helping people train for shows so it's something I enjoy. I could work 18hr days and enjoy it doing the stuff I like. I just wish I had saved my money instead of hurricaning it away because now I'd be opening other businesses and be MUCH more comfortable for a guy in his 30's.

But all in all, I'm happy. I like my life.

how has that humbled you? were you able to change it around? and now look at life with a new perspective?

Car accident in intensive care 6 days and 5 more in a regular room made me realize you can go outta here at any moment.

In August 2010 I was in my local hospital literally dying in intensive care (developed massive pulmonary embollisms due to immobility from a thigh/knee surgery 2 weeks earlier). At my lowest in that hospital I rededicated my life to Christ and Christ's immediate revelation in my life has changed me forever. I give him the praise and thank him daily!

Have a similar condition since birth - no ill effects except for a yellow spot every 3 or 4 months.

I had a stroke caused by a chiropractic neck adjustment. Fell out right there in his office. It was four years ago, and at 26 I realized I was not invincible
