Honest Letter to Self: The "Cold" Hard Truth About Health

I’m incredibly fortunate. I co-own two vibrant gyms with 15 amazing team members. I have a home to call my own, a reliable car, and a beautiful wife who inspires me daily. My hilarious son fills our lives with laughter. Financially, I’m secure, with multiple emergency accounts and two investment condos. My YouTube channel has grown to 2,000 subscribers, and I run a clothing company. I get to train incredible clients every day, am surrounded by great friends, and have devoured hundreds of books. I even hold a world record and have completed 1,000 Murphs.

Yet, whenever I catch a cold, all these accomplishments fade into the background. In those moments, all I want is to feel well again.

For some, my achievements might seem 10 times greater than what they have. For others, maybe 100 times. For a few, perhaps only a fraction. But regardless of how you measure success, when you’re unwell, none of it really matters.

Every cold serves as a humbling reminder: health is the ultimate non-negotiable. It’s the foundation that everything else is built on. That’s why, every day, I make my health a priority—because without it, nothing else holds the same value.
