When our grandparents could only shop what was in season? And they had to go to the store every few days, if not every day, for food? Now we get whatever we want when we want it.

The subtle shifts, changes, and alterations in things, topics, and people. He explains that he came to this understanding after discussing tattoos with someone at his work.

In the month of September, I accomplished one goal I spent 18 months preparing for, a second goal I have been working towards for the past 6 years, and I turned the ripe age of 25. Growing up I always thought 25 was a special birthday. I viewed it almost as the year you were expected to be an adult. When you're in your early 20's everyone kind of expects you to mess around, not take things crazy seriously. Basically, be a college kid. Then when you're 25, you've finished college, gotten the freedom jitters out of your...

What was normally a set of 10-15, turned into a set going to maximum reps. I started running a few days a week. Even asked an...

He meant no disrespect by it but simply wanted to do things by himself, his way, and produce the result he knew he could. He was a capable young man. One who showed lots of promise in his field. He worked very hard, had learned the skills he had by himself through hours and years of work. Yet he couldn't seem to get past this spot he'd been stuck at, for what seemed an eternity.

I never would have imagined myself running an endurance event like an ironman. Hell, I never would have pictured myself doing anything other than lifting heavy circles, haha.

Those were the emotions I was feeling the first 4 miles I hiked on the Appalachian trail.

In fact, this is the wrong way to go about it. For we have simply misinterpreted what it feels like to feel ALIVE.
