We are well into 2022 and so much has happened. A global pandemic, a volatile economy and a polarized society. Back in 2020 when we prayed and hoped for a better year, this certainly was not any of us expected. Some build bridges and some build walls.

Being on the open road, a long drive to somewhere or even nowhere could sometime feel like therapy. Matter of fact from my personal experience, it's almost as beneficial as therapy. Getting in your car and drive. Sounds simple, doesn't it? It actually is. I mean aside from an overnight bag, some spending cash and great music playing you don't need much more.
We all strive to be successful in life every which way. And why wouldn’t we? We fear failure. But failure is part of the process when it comes to success. Failure is to success what weakness is to strength. They are polar opposite yet necessary for achievement. Without obstacles in life success earned is not often permanent.

It really is, and it’s often the manifestation of our thoughts. Let’s discuss why failure without fear could actually help us.

Once a year go somewhere you’ve never been, some journeys will take you to places you will never forget, you will relive those moments over and over. This world might be changing nevertheless it has and always will remain beautiful. Granted natural disasters and other calamities have changed and even erased the world over the years. Our notion to reject science and the impact of global warming, pollution must change. At the risk of sounding like a politician during an election year “we must come together to protect this planet”.

We all have fitness goals, however we lack the knowledge and will to execute that goal. Fitness and wellbeing is an asset that could be invaluable and should never be neglected. We all have plans to be in a better shape however not motivated enough to reach that goal. One of the crucial aspects of any fitness plan a great diet. The word diet has an extremely negative connotation, in fact the word diet seems like a yellow light. You may not stop but your mind discourages you to follow through. Instead of thinking of it as “diet” which could be a path to failure if we focus on eating well then the prospect becomes more reasonable and compelling. Think about this, when you think diet first thing comes to mind is “I can’t eat anything I enjoy anymore”. We focus on the negative aspect of diet and then we get overwhelmed subsequently we give up.
Eating well and supplements is that proverbial silver bullet in crushing fitness goals along with rest and a clear mindset.

What Does human decency mean to you? Why human race far greater than other species? Is it just the economical, technological, industrial advancements? Or is it our ability to choose and have free will, knowing right from wrong? Could it be as human time and time again we have found a way to come together transcend and prevail? Is it kindness? Could it be all of the above and more?
For time and time again human decency has been put to test. All our lives we were taught the importance of giving and sharing. The very notion of kindness makes us who we are. The conscious choice being selfless and understanding beyond our own needs make us human among other attributes. Can you think back a scenario where someone reached out to you with helping hands or kind gesture? Now think again, what if that person hadn’t reached out? Now think back when you lent a hand of kindness to someone. It might have been something grand or even as small as a cup of coffee.
More of human decency. Make kindness an everyday practice. - Moment 31
Whether we like it or not certain age is considered a milestone. General assumption is 20s to enjoy and party and 30s to build a career and start a life. Ultimately 40s is the gateway to midlife. Yes these are insanely arbitrary nevertheless we buy into the narrative. Now scientifically older we get there are changes and progression that are unavoidable. But that’s not a red flag. Physical fitness, mental acuity do not ievitably diminish at or after 40.
Turing 40 is a milestone some sees as an indication to slow down, and dare I say decline. But that’s not the case not even by a long shot. It might be a cliché nevertheless age is a state of mind. If we couldn’t get into a better shape after turning 40 then world would have a different reality.
Getting in shape after 40. It's not as difficult. - Moment 31
