I have a strong tendency to neglect my own well being in deference to the task at hand or my current obsession. This is a seemingly regularly occurring issue with the driven and intelligent and has been seen in many successful people. I only wish my self neglect led to the riches, then I could afford the rejuvenation treatment, blood spinning, stem cells, etc.
Every person has that thing that eventually reawakens their awareness of their health and is the trigger that begins their evolution.
