I wasn't paying attention to.
The stress.
That that was putting on my body.
I already talked about.
I wasn't paying attention to the sleep or rest that I needed if I'm working that hard. Honestly, there.
Was a disrespect.
To my family. I wasn't paying attention to them.
I was so.
Busy grinding out of the hole that I was trying to get them out of. I wanted them.
To live a better life.
I wasn't in.
The day to day.
I wasn't in the present. I wasn't enjoying the gift of life.
That we had already.
Been receiving from.
The historical.
Hustle that had been happening. And then what I'll say is there was a massive, massive.
Load of disrespect to what I.
Put in my mouth.
As far as food.
And beverages and.
The fact that.
I let myself get.
To the heaviest.
I had ever been in my life. And what's funny is at that point, it was the most successful I had ever been in my life. It's a really weird thing to think.
About where I.
Was at that point, the things that I was disrespecting or not paying attention to, and compare them to where I am today and what I have ultimate respect for, what I pay attention to at a granular level.
But because of.
Being through that kind of war zone.
