3 years ago, I was in a coma. Hooked up to a ventilator, I had 40% chance of survival. I came out of it with a new perspective on life. It was like I’d been unplugged from the matrix & my eyes were finally open. Here are 13 life-changing lessons I learned:

Life is too short to waste living in fear. I used to fear: ⦁ failure ⦁ criticism ⦁ losing control Then I got sick & ended up in a coma. Now I fear: ⦁ regret ⦁ a life un-lived ⦁ not fulfilling my potential It’s amazing what you can achieve when you’re not afraid to live.

One day, when you become a diamond, you’ll understand why life put you under so much pressure. Nothing worth having comes easy. • Health • Wealth • Business • Relationships If you want to be great, you need to withstand the pressure and keep moving forward.

When I was young, I thought I was clever & I wanted to change the world. Then life came & taught me humility & wisdom. So today, I try to change myself so I can contribute to society in some small way. Today, I join hands with others as we try to build a better world together.

Short-term results need: • Passion • Intensity • Brilliance Long-term results need: • Patience • Persistence • Consistency Apply a short-term game mentality to each day… while actually playing the long-term game.

How to write great content: • Go live a life worthy of sharing… then share it Don’t sit down to write before you’ve stood up to live.

When feeling upset or angry with life... zoom out. April 2020. I’m a patient on a Covid ward. I've become friends with the two great guys in the beds next to me. We make plans to meet when we leave… I’m the only one who survives. A thread about perspective and gratitude: 🧵

TL;DR: Perspective and Gratitude: • Zoom out • We all die alone • Count your blessings • Life is a reflection of you • Be grateful for the challenges • You find what you’re looking for • Look for the path, ignore the trees
