When you’re sick, please rest.

I almost went to a gig today despite having food poisoning.

Bad idea. I’m so glad I didn’t.

Sometimes, it feels like you have to push through. But—trite as it is—your health must take priority.

For a brief moment, I considered the Teddy Roosevelt approach: take a bullet and keep going.

But Teddy's approach isn't for everyone. And probably only for select occasions.

Next time you have the thought to push through, ask yourself: is this worth trading my health?
