And
20 minutes ago I saw a co-worker perform CPR on him as he lay in a corridor turning
blue and not breathing. I don’t know much about him except that his name is
Dwayne and as of right now I do not know if he is alive or dead (the paramedics
just took him away). I know he has kids and isn’t morbidly overweight like me. I
know his life is never going to be the same again. And I know when I get home in
an hour or so, I will try to hug Sammy harder than I usually do. But I know I
will still drink the two or so glasses of wine I do every night and eat the
unhealthy food (in tonight’s case, leftover pepperoni pizza). I know I should
do something about my health and if watching a co-worker have CPR and defibrillation
and all sorts of medical stuff performed on him doesn’t spur me to do something,
then what will?
You may not even make changes when your own life is threatened. What I see is people make changes when they decide to. You just haven't decided to yet.
