G’day friends,

Last week, I was in so much pain.

I had a bad flare up of plantar fasciitis.

My flat feet and stiff big toe means my foot doesn’t absorb shock well.

So when I exercise too much, my foot suffers.

It got so bad I woke up with searing pain at 3:32am.

I thought someone had stabbed my foot with a hot knife.

Walking wasn’t an option.

I had to crawl to my kitchen to get the anti-inflammatory meds.

(It was ibuprofen, not durians... unfortunately).

I swallowed those bad boys so quickly.

The next day I went to see a podiatrist.

He shot electric waves into my foot.

I won’t lie, it hurt. Like, a lot.

But this experience gave me some perspective.

When I was fully-abled, I wanted everything.

Making more money, growing my business, and traveling the world.

But when my foot was in so much pain and I couldn’t even walk, I got perspective.

I craved basic life pleasures.

• Going for a walk.
• Waking up without pain.
• Playing with my niece and nephews.

I would have given anything just for the basics.

This reminded me of a quote by Naval Ravikant:

The feeling was no different to when I was a fancy Executive Director with a multi-six-figure salary but incredibly burned out.

The pain of burnout sucked.

I wanted just to make enough money to live a good life.

I would have traded in the fancy title and made less money for a better lifestyle.

I wanted:

• Meaningful work with clients I actually cared about.
• More control over my calendar and less meetings.
• The ability to travel whenever I felt like it.

The simple basics we take for granted.

Before I got caught in the trap of climbing the ladder.
