> significant life events can help one take a step back and see bigger pictures in life. I still get anxious some days. But nothing close to before a family member was diagnosed with cancer. Of course, everyone has their own response to these things, but for me the response was to realize how unimportant work is to me in the bigger picture. Trying to meet project deadlines while going through that time in my life is something I don't ever want to deal with again. I almost lost it, and ended up emerging stronger than before.
