Leading Numb

It was a Tuesday night, and after working 14 hours at the pawnshop, I came home to have dinner with my wife.  

I walked into our house and took off my shoes.

I put aside my backpack and saw Sharon had set the table for dinner. 

I sat down and called her name. 

She came out of the bedroom and started serving our plates.

She usually would talk and share but tonight was different. 

I took a couple of bites and looked at her eyes seeing that something was different. 

I asked, "Babe is everything ok."

She told me not to worry, to just continue eating.

I knew something was wrong at this moment, so I asked again, "Babe whats wrong?"

She again responded not to worry that we would talk about it after dinner.

At this point, I couldn't take another bite. I put my fork down and said, "Babe tell me what is going on." 

She said, "I didn't get married to be alone."

We had been married for less than a year.

Shit, I was speechless. At first, I started to defend myself, but I just saw that I wasn't helping the situation.

We argued back and forth!

I told her I needed to wash my face because of the shock.

I went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror and started to get angry.

How could she say that? We have cars, a house; we take incredible vacations. 

And then it happened, I starred into the mirror and for some reason told myself "Yigal, its time to be honest, stop lying to yourself."

I wasn't present.

I was successful at work but working too many hours.

I wasn't connecting with her.

I was overweight.

I was sluggish and tired.

I was not emotionally connected to myself.

I was spiritually lost.

I was NUMB!

I had been walking through life NUMB and just working.  

Only caring about how much money I brought to the table.

Only caring about my needs.

At that moment I made a CHOICE, a choice to lead a life differently. 

I went on a journey of books, courses, mentors, and meditation.

On my journey, I made mistakes, horrible errors and almost lost it all, but I was committed to 1 thing to LEAD!!!

I took back my POWER, I started to make more PROFIT, and I finally had PEACE of mind. 

If you are NUMB, you are NOT ALONE. 

33% of Entrepreneurs are depressed, and 63% of them abuse some substance to just deal with it all.

I broke out of it.

I unlocked my potential 

I Unlocked The Leader  

I chose, I clarified, I committed, and I got back my courage.

There is a way to be a great husband, father, and businessman all at the same time. 

I got your back!

LEAD
