Meaning, muscle, and momentum at midlife
Midlife is no time to sink into the couch.
We have so much to do, and so many ways we need to evolve. We need to workout, to read, and to create meaning for ourselves and others as the more frivolous reasons for work reveal their true and vapid selves.
My life just runs better when I am doing three things consistently: Read, Write, Reps. Or put another way, reading books, writing about the ideas, and working out.
Welcome.
