Mike Melton argues that showing up while exhausted or angry isn't the same as being okay. He says many people survive day-to-day while actually falling apart, and that healing yourself is necessary before you can help anyone else.
Everybody thinks you fine just 'cause you show up. But you know what? That's the damn problem. You know, you show up tired, you always damn stressed, and you always show up angry. There's a lot of people like that. And you show up empty. And because you still perform every damn day, people assumes you okay. But performance ain't your damn peace. A man can't function when he's falling apart. So stop using your ability to survive and prove nothing's wrong. You need more than survival. You need to heal yourself. And once you heal yourself, you can heal others.
