you feel broken.

I can remember a time feeling broken. It was

January 11, 2017. Solvay, my employer in Vernon,

Texas, laid off over half of its workforce.

Unfortunately, I went through the layoff as well. Let

me tell you, that was a S.A.D. day.

Even worse, they called me three months later, to

return to work- what a punch in the gut. I felt

disposable and disrespected, but I had an

investment that fell through a month after the layoff.

I did not want to go back, but I had to. The anxiety

I had about returning to that same workplace, that

same leadership had my chest hurting so bad I went

to the emergency room. I thought I was going to

have a heart attack. My wife and my daughters were

very concerned about me.

On the first day back to work, I promised that I

would never allow this to happen to my family or me

ever again. On that day made up my mind to create

my opportunities from then on. I was M.A.D. about

my situation and Made A Decision to change it!
