I realsie everyone is motivated by this.......

Let me take you on a journey through a moment in my life that made me stop and really think about what's important. It was during a meeting for our golf club, a gathering meant to decide how to use our club's funds for the year. But here's the twist—out of our big club membership, only a handful of us showed up. It felt a bit like planning a party and having only a few friends RSVP.

As we started discussing, things got a bit chaotic. Some members were questioning every little detail, and often it got out of topic, and it seemed like we were going in circles and not getting any way forward. Eventually, I spoke up and said, "Hey, this isn't fair. We need more people here to make good decisions. Let's postpone the meeting to another day." Well, let's just say not everyone agreed with me. I got worked up and started becoming emotional about the whole ordeal. However, I held it in, and it felt like it was eating me from the inside.

On my way home, driving from that meeting, something unexpected happened—I got this terrible pain in my stomach, like someone was squeezing it tight. I pull the card aside and called my friend, who is nearby, He came by and rushed me to the hospital. The doctors there told me my blood pressure was dangerously high, which was a wake-up call. I became even more worried for fearing a stroke, as i have heard of many similar cases.

Lying in that hospital bed, I had a lot of time to think. I realized that stress and frustration from the meeting had probably contributed to my health issue. It made me think about how we all handle stress in our lives. Do we let it build up until it makes us sick, or do we find healthy ways to cope?

So, here's what I want you to take away from my story: it's okay to feel stressed or frustrated sometimes, but it's important to take care of yourself too. Whether it's taking a break, talking to someone you trust, or finding a relaxing activity, make sure you find ways to manage stress in your own life. Because your health and well-being are the most important things of all.

My insight to that day is that I firmly believe that the greatest motivator in life is to avoid pain or to be free from pain.
