Gentlemen, pardon me if this is not the right platform. Based on all your experience and coming from different walks of life, I need some advise. It has been a very tough year, my wife was diagnosed with cancer, went through surgery and chemo, now a waiting game to March until the next scan. Work has become toxic and just in general, I lost my purpose, no longer interested in the things I used to love, small chores feels like climbing Mount Everest. I have become withdrawn, and prefer silence and solitude, of course this has a negative affect on my marriage, friendships and have become depressed. Feels like just another day, dragging myself out of bed, giving myself a pep talk just to face the day. Have some meds, but not working, seeing someone just causes more negative questions How do I shake this off and be who I really am? Life is not that bad, but for some reason this dark cloud is smothering me. If this topic is not allowed on this platform, I apologize, and admin may remove it. Any suggestions or input will appreciated.

Brothers, I realize not everyone is a member of BoS community, so please find the attached link I posted yesterday. https://www.skool.com/bos/are-you-still-using-an-excel-spreadsheet?p=a637c3fa

You don’t “deserve” crap. That word has destroyed more lives than any other. “I deserve a raise.” “I deserve great relationships.” “I deserve recognition.” The hell you do. The only thing you deserve is the life that your habits, actions, and standards have produced for you. Nothing more. "I deserve" is the most entitled crybaby phrase that exists. It's your version of seeking a reward by bypassing the work required. That reward will never come until the work does. If you want different... Become different. A great life is earned. Never deserved. ~ Andy Frisella
