What’s the best advice you ignored that turned out to be spot on? We’ve all been there—someone gives you advice, you think, ‘Yeah, whatever man, that won’t happen to me!” only to later realize they were right. Maybe it’s about your career, family, or something else else entirely, but we’ve all done it. I’ve done it a lot, but the one that stings is the most is ignoring the advice not to take loved ones for granted. Losing my brother Andrew this year, I was reminded of all the plans we made ‘for later’ that we would now never get to do. If I could go back, I would say “Yes” to all those times he asked to hang out or shoot the shit, no matter how tired or busy I was. What’s some advice that you’ve gotten in the past and ignored only to realize later you should have listened sooner?

A lot. Unfortunately. Thankfully, I do eventually learn. 😆 I’ll share one that I hope others might read and maybe it will help them. In my mid to late 20s, my girlfriend and I were living in Michigan and I was super sick. She pleaded with me to go see a doctor, but I was/am a workaholic and said I wasn’t that sick. I was staying up late every night for weeks putting in crazy hours at work, hacking up blood, but kept on going. Eventually, my boss said I need to go to the emergency room and there I was diagnosed with double-pneumonia and the doctor said I could’ve died with the amount of fluid/bacterial infection in my lungs. It took weeks, but I recovered. Moral of the story? Take care of yourself first before work, before anything. Don’t ignore health issues. It’s like the airline attendants say: Put your mask on first before helping others. 😷

jeez, that's nuts dude. If your boss is telling you to go to the doctor you know it's bad glad you learned from it, I'm also pretty stubborn with going to the doctor but moreso because I hate how much it costs.
