It's funny, but my own epiphany also came about as a result of a near death experience, and one very similar to yours in that it happened at a hospital. When I went in for the surgery my wife at the time was very directly told by a nurse that it was a 50/50 chance of me making it, and that she might want to say her goodbyes just in case before I was anesthetized. I am not going to leave you in suspense, I did make it, but it really was a close thing. That was 10 years ago. After pulling through and recovering, I made a lot of changes to my life, lifestyle, friends, activities, everything. Including, unfortunately, calling it quits on that marriage. If there is one thing that my experience taught me, aside from entrepreneurship, is that life is too short to willingly be in situations were you are unhappy or do not feel fulfilled.
