"You hear the statistics on cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc., and it's just
that: statistics.
That is, until you find out somebody close to you is one of those statistics.
And all of a sudden, the things you thought mattered so much, don't
matter as much anymore.
Part of those things are still somewhat important, but priorities shift.
And part of you can't believe how you didn't think the way you do now
in the first place, but such is life.
The trick is to remember that new mindset and to live it and to never forget it."

Be grateful. I'm grateful for the opportunity to become a nurse. Yesterday night before bed, I was watching episode 4 of Inside Combat Rescue- In the Crossfire. Saving a life, there is no feeling like it. There is no better feeling, it's just a different feeling of pride, gratefulness for your life and all forms of life, and analyzing ourselves of how to improve to save the life of others. Today is Day 14. Woke up at 4:22 AM by myself- alarm set for 4:30. I did sleep in yesterday until 8:25 though. I ate my last meal for yesterday at 6:30 PM. Don't know how much of this is due to sleeping in and how much is due to eating vegetables and fruits for my last meal and 3 hours before bed. Keep experimenting though, and make adjustments.
To being the leader, a life-saver, and the difference maker in a crisis.
