I'm writing this to you from my black writing sofa.

Legs stretched out due to most of my strength getting sapped from Malaria.

You see, I knew I had malaria…

I had seen the symptoms since the beginning of January (yeah I'm stubborn)

I had the sore throat…

The slight headache…

And some of the fatigue…

But guess what,

I ignored each one as they came…

And instead of treating that illness which I knew was Malaria…

I treated the symptoms singly.

Took antibiotics for the sore throat…

And paracetamol for the headache.

For the fatigue, I just took my daily dose of coffee.

You're probably wondering why I did that...

And I'll tell you.

For one, I hate malaria meds.

They're so bitter and they destroy my appetite just by their smell.

Everytime I treat malaria, I always end up smelling it for days after. Sometimes even stretching into weeks.

I hate hate hate them.

Another reason I ignored treatment was:

Each time I treat Malaria, I feel weak for 3 consecutive days.

The first day being the worst and the last day being the least.

And the final reason I ignored treatment was (and I confess this is the top reason I did):

Anytime I take malaria meds…

I have to stop taking coffee because the caffeine tampers with the potency of the medicine.

Can you imagine having no coffee for 3 solid days???

I couldn't handle it

Phewwww…no can't do (I'm an addict…hell yeah I know)

So with all these reasons coupled together…

I decided I was gonna ignore the symptoms till I couldn't anymore.

But you see …

What I ignored was:

The fact that whenever the Malaria came with full strength…

I would still have to take the meds…

And this time, I will be much weaker than before.

Anyways I ignored it.

Until Tuesday, it struck…

Kinda as a warm up though…

Started with a sore throat and weakness…

By Wednesday, it felt a bit worse but I thought it was gonna pass…

Then boom 💥 Thursday morning…

I couldn't do jack.

It was like a sledgehammer was dropped on my head from the top of a 3 storey building.

I was riddled with so much weakness I couldn't even think up an email…

Talk more of holding a live training session.

 I was really in pain because…

Of all the weeks…

The malaria chose to strike on one of the busiest weeks of my life.

My work was affected…

My clients were affected too…

My students were affected too…

I couldn't even reschedule the important meeting I had (had to do that this morning)...

I felt really bad…

Because I had let my ignorance and negligence affect those who placed their trust in me.

I've forgiven myself for that and I've promised to never let that happen again…

So I'm not writing this letter to mule and complain…

But I'm writing to share a lesson I learned during this ordeal with you.

The lesson is:

The most important thing you have in life is your Health 

No amount of money is gonna replace the value your health holds.

So long as you're healthy and can work…

You can make back any amount of money you think you've lost.

So don't mess with your health.

Take it seriously.

Rest well…

Exercise…

Eat well…

Sleep well.

There's so much abundance in the world…

But you won't be able to take advantage of this abundance if you are not healthy.

As for the LIVE training…

I've decided to shift it forward…

So it would now hold next week Thursday (22nd)

I'll send more updates about it before then…

But for now, you can still join the live training waitlist here: https://www.chianusolomon.com/emfk 

Stay jiggy
