Flatlining

Dooley Noted: 6/1/2016 
 
I’ve recently seen an influx of patients that are going through intense times of struggle and stress.
 
In their times of difficulty, it may be hard to remember that the struggle is an immense part of growing in life. 
 
But take one look at the human pulse. 
 
It’s considered healthy to have consistent ups and downs. 
 
And when it flatlines, you are in danger of dying quickly. 
 
Without life’s struggles, we have no chance to rise above them. 
 
Without struggle, we have no pulse. 
 
When people around you struggle, walk with them through it. 
 
Remind them what goes down, must come up. 
 
The struggles shake things up so you don’t flatline. 
 
As always, it’s your call.
