It is impossible to serve from an empty vessel. What steps do you take to unwind after a long day at work? How are you managing your time outside of work?

I Stumbled to the Ground
There is a saying that life can knock you down, but I literally stumbled to the ground. It resulted in an ankle injury, plenty of me time to think about it, and cost so much more than money. I was emotionally and mentally affected thinking that maybe I am not good enough due to my injuries. I was full of doubt of what I could do and stayed in my comfort zone. It was a wakeup call when I saw a woman in her 60s using a cane and she looked at me and said, “You’re so young to have a cane!” That was basically motivation to make a choice to stay down or get back up. I had to stop walking with my head down and take the necessary steps to correct my injury.

How to Stop Being a Weak, Nerdy Victim and Start Being a Man
I've always had a temper. As a kid in elementary school, I would instigate fights with much tougher kids and then get the crap beat out of me. A lot. And I wasn't a tough kid myself. I was a skinny, wimpy, tea sandwich of a boy with thick glasses—perfect fodder for bullies or anyone else looking to make mincemeat out of someone. It's actually pretty funny to think about, decades later. Some scrawny weakling, intentionally starting some shit with a bigger, tougher kid, only to limp home with an even bigger chip on my shoulder, angry at the other kid for having the audacity to fight me. It's funny, but also kinda twisted. I'd start the fight for some perceived reason, get my clock cleaned, and then carry this anger around because people pick on me. It was the extreme end of playing the victim with a side of Ed Norton's self ass-kicking in Fight Club for good measure. I played this role for years. To be honest, I still do to an extent.
