If you are living an angry life, feeling like a victim, and you think you are hurting or spitting others by being unkind or apathetic, you are only depriving yourself of the fullness of life and you are living a lonely existence.
Forgiveness, gratitude and love will free you from the demons that haunt you and make you bitter. 😇🙏
Don't try it... live it and trust it.
@dvandenbord@mwebster1971 I saw both of you at the 2025 Founders Club in Vegas. I’m 73 and run 2 to 4 miles several days a week and do 50 pushups. In my opinion self discipline, which is the ability to say no to yourself is the bedrock for achieving a strong body, strong mind and faith. God bless you.
3 years ago today, on 3/2/23 I started my health journey
Initially quitting ALL alcohol, diet sodas, daily fast food, etc..COLD TURKEY really without a true plan…just an unbreakable desire to get healthy for my kids
As time went on I added more health protocols that I picked up from Andrew @hubermanlab & his guests. I regard him as a true National Treasure
I’m not going to lie…it’s been 3-LONG and hard years!
I’ve wanted to go back to old habits nearly every day…just keepin’ it real
During this time, I’ve been thrown the two of the hardest challenges of my life (plus a bunch of really hard ones) but I’ve stayed on my health journey…every day
At the start of my journey I was at least 80 pounds heavier (I never weighed myself at my worst) & couldn’t even walk up the steps to my house without getting out of breath.
How could this one time Div I long distance swimmer in perfect shape turn into a middle aged fat slob?
Well…I’d had the wrong “WHY” others might refer to it as motivation or goal.
I think of it this way…when trying to figure out if I should stay on the health journey or not…I ask myself WHY!!!
Why struggle…why not take the comfortable way out?
My “why” changed 3 years ago today…it became to get & stay as healthy as possible to be around for my kids.
Your why might be different…but you need to figure it out if you want to stay motivated
Sending this while on my typical 3 mile morning walk…something that would have been impossible just 3 years ago
FWIW I lost the 80+ pounds without any medication & stopped drinking overnight without AA or other support. That’s just me…if those things help you more than hurt you…go for it.
While it’s embarrassing to open up about this stuff…I’m doing so in hopes that it helps someone 🍀❤️🤘

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.
