Forget money, forget career...nothing matters more than your health.
Six months ago, I started experiencing back pain. At first, it was just a mild discomfort, easy to ignore, so I did. But it didn’t go away. It got worse. Sitting hurt, standing hurt, even lying down offered no relief.
Two weeks ago, I had to undergo surgery. There was no other option; the damage had already gone too far. Now, I’m in recovery, and it’s brutal. Every small movement is a reminder of how much I took my body for granted.
We spend so much time chasing CTC, promotions, and financial independence, but none of it matters if your health breaks down. If you’re pain-free right now, don’t take it for granted. Don’t ignore the warning signs your body gives you, pain isn’t something to tough out.
If I could go back, I’d trade everything...money, career, ambitions, just to take better care of myself earlier. Please, don’t make the same mistake.

This really hit me. We chase goals thinking we have all the time in the world, but health isn’t something we can postpone. Wishing you strength in your recovery. Take it one step at a time
