I remember advertisements that said, stress kills.
I knew that. I knew that stress causes disease. And that we as adults need to do what we can to live at ease. Even though there are external events happening around, our attitude has a lot to do with how we get through those events.
Our life in general has a lot to do with how we see the world.
My father had a heart attack this week. Fortunately, he is recovering. He is resting comfortably.
When they were rolling him out of surgery to his room, he started dictating to his wife some things in the business that needed to be done in his absence. And she saw how ridiculous that was that was he was thinking about work while facing the possibility of death.
She said, ‘You have to stop this. This is one of the reasons you had a heart attack. You take on too much and it leaves you stressed and worried.’ And they both started to laugh.
