Today, I noticed I’m missing a tooth. I don’t recall being punched in the face or it hurting. Yet it is gone forever.

It made me mad for the whole day even though nobody will notice it missing because it was in the back of my mouth. Still, my eating will never be the same again, and it will get more challenging.

I went for a long drive where I thought about my life, and I had to accept that I was not young anymore. I cannot drink energy drinks three times a day and expect there to be no consequences. I must stick to drinking nothing but water.

I also analyzed the current state of my life, and I realized I was not where I wanted to be. I thought I would be retired with my island by this age.

I’m certainly not there, not even close. I’m living in my parent’s basement, and I am broke.

I had to take a long, hard look at myself and accept it was time for a drastic change to start writing the book I had been putting off.

Start going to the gym regularly and eating and drinking healthy.

You shouldn’t wait for something as horrible as losing a tooth to analyze your life, but sometimes life throws us a warning sign, and we must take it.

So today, I challenge you to analyze your life and start heading in the right direction before something terrible happens.
