Getting your leg chopped off. Food for thought.

[GordonJ]

So, two weeks ago my brother had a blister on his right foot. Then, on Wed. July 24, they chopped off his leg at Western Reserve Hospital here in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.

He has a 9 thousand dollar deductible. YIKES. The good news is; his job will be waiting for him when he recovers. It apparently was an infection gone wild, complicated by diabetes (he wasn't diagnosed)...and although I did start a go fund for him

That is NOT the reason for the post. His friends, family and co-workers are all pitching in to help him out, and since I'm nearby, I'll look after him.

But the real point is this: something I've said many times over; tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

We just don't know what the future holds for us.

Everyday, people are maimed in auto accidents or they go to a rally or concert or movie, or some just go to school, and they die there.

Some of us maintain good health, some by habits and others by good genes. I neither smoke nor drink, but my 94 year old grandfather did both, heavily.

Sometimes, life is a crap shoot.

If you have something you want to do in this world, why the hesitation? Why not some ACTION TODAY.

My young brother just turned 62, and this came out of the blue, and it was a shock to see him post surgery, but also a blessing because loss of limb is better than loss of life.

And since I'm on my rant today, as I got older and older, my projects became shorter and shorter...my long reports became hotsheets.

Today, I advocate for most young people to start fast, stay hot, and FINISH one thing, and build off of that, but it requires constant attention.

Your health needs your undivided ATTENTION, before it demands it via illness or tragedy.

And as long as I'm preaching today, GET YOUR THING DONE, and get all that stored value out of your brain and into the marketplace.

Tomorrow is not promised to everyone.
