Calls me and goes, hey, your dad never showed up for work today. He's never missed a day in the 30 years, whatever. Yeah, we're worried about him. I just want to make sure he's okay. And I'm like, that's weird. So I call my ex who was at my house that night. I had worked super early. And I was like, hey, is my dad still there? And she goes, I don't know. I already left.

I'm like, hey, can you please go back to my house and see if my dad is still at the house? She pulls up to the house, walks into the house, walks into my dad's bedroom, and she calls me and she goes, Robert, your dad's not waking up. And so it's kind of a blur. Yeah. But yeah, I called 911, didn't say anything to anybody. I left, went home.

By the time I got to my house, my house is full of cops and paramedics. And so he suffered his third heart attack and passed away in his sleep. Thankfully, he was like peaceful, you know? Yeah. And they gave me like four or five days off of work. But it wasn't enough. I mean, it was just me and my dad. He was upside down on his house. I was helping him cover bills.

And like, so I have all this stress of a funeral, where I'm going to live, like all this stuff. I tried going back to work for like two days. All I could do is sit in my office and cry. And I'm like, dude, I'm useless here. And they're like, sorry, we need you here. I'm like, well, I'm sorry. You could pound sand. I'm done.

So I quit and, uh, went to Sedona, Arizona for a few days, cleared my head and just told myself I'll never let anybody tell me what I can and can't do ever again.

Life is just, everything in life is just perspective, right? Like you can look at a situation and think, woe is me, or you could just be a victor out of that pain, right? So it's like, I've seen, throughout the tragedy, I've realized the main thing is I know that I could die tomorrow. I could die, I could leave this podcast, I could die on the way to my office.

Like I have a very clear understanding of that, right? So it's like, why wouldn't you try? Why wouldn't you try and do something great? Why wouldn't you try and benefit other people's lives? Why wouldn't you try and give your kids everything that you never had, right? So it's like, yeah, I could sit there on my sorrows, but that does nothing for me.

And the thing that I fall back into a lot of times is like, I look at like emotions, anxiety, depression, and then presence. Right. So like my perspective of depression is living in the past. Right. My perspective of anxiety is living in the future. Yeah. So happiness comes from the present and happiness is never a destination. How Buddhist of you. Right. Right.
