“A ton of professional and financial success—really more than I ever thought was possible as a dentist—and I had this total come to Jesus moment with how and why and to what end.”
“I wanted to be able to stop and say that if I died any day now, I’d be doing exactly what I wanted to be doing.”
“My new mantra was: I’m going to live every week, every day, every month, and plan every year like, hey, this could be it because things slip away quickly.”
