Wisdom is….
Being able to appreciate now what you will miss later.
My first thought this morning was “i wish my kids wouldn’t wake me up at 6am randomly” then as I brushed my teeth and got ready for the day I thought about how much I am going to miss their little snuggles in the morning. The flopping around in bed as they literally say they will be still and go back to sleep etc. is super cute. It’s easy to internalize this sentiment when we think about kids. They are only young for so long after all.

Fast forward to how many years we spend as fully grown adults…. Probably most of those years are spent thinking about everything else other than our health is going to be 1/3/5/10 years from now. How much would you miss putting your socks on without back pain, sneezing without pulling a muscle, or getting up from a nice nap on the couch WITHOUT a broken neck?

Perspective goes well with all choices. Perspective comes from experience, but wisdom comes from learning from experiences you DIDNT have to have to learn the lesson. Think of what wisdom is in the first place… perspective (from experiences) that guides choices, understands, AND acts on consequences. (If I were ever to make wine, I would name it perspective…) I’ve never had a client that said… “Marcel, I’m so glad I didn’t exercise all my life and ate s**t food” rather, I hear “I wish I would have…” and what ever finishes the rest of that sentence usually sounds a lot like wisdom.

What health thing are you going to miss 1/3/5/10 years from now?

Or rather, what are you doing now for yourself that will keep you moving how you want to move 1/3/5/10 years from now?
Ready for the Spartan race tomorrow!

Nothing like throwing a thick piece of metal through wood to get in touch with the primal side.

My family would be eating well tonight :)
Birthday challenge
—————————
Every year for my birthday I like to do something very physically/mentally demanding. Some years I can complete the challenge, other years I can’t. This year I set out to do a mile of the strength axle. I only made it to 1/2 mile (it took 42 minutes). I maybe could have pushed for another 1/4 mile but I would have probably hurt something in the process. I’ve come to realize injury isn’t worth it anymore (I have pushed myself to that injury point in the past). My mind and body are more in sync now…

Challenges like this remind me that I can do extremely hard things. Things that require mental and physical strength. Things that less than 1% of the rest of the earth would consider doing. I don’t want to sit at the top of a bell shaped curve. My life will never feel like that either. The beautiful thing about pushing boundaries like this is that EVERYTHING else I do in life feels so much easier in comparison. I don’t get bothered by Monday mornings, my day is not ruined when I spill my coffee, I can and do still show up and give my 100% to every situation regardless of what’s going on in my life. Age does not define me. A single event doesn’t define me. The accumulation of all my trials makes me stronger and full of appreciation for life.

We (humans as a whole) have so much to offer. I hope I inspire some of you to push your limits and find your true potential each and every moment you live. Be your best. Give your best. Do your best. But understand that you don’t really know your best until you’ve explored the edge of your capabilities. One exposition into the edges of your capabilities is not sufficient though. You must make that pilgrimage at regular intervals (like training) to stay connected to who you really are.

Fear and failure are your friends. They remind you that you are doing meaningful and challenging things.
