I got to train with a Muy Thai Master this weekend.
And at the end of our three hour session, he started speaking about health and wellness and how he wants to live to be a centenarian.
…But not if that meant having a low quality of life where he’s bedridden, lonely, and miserable.
His two very distinct and unique goals he set for himself—that he has attached to this goal of becoming a centenarian are: (1) That he’s able to bend over and pick up his grandkids and (2) That he’s able to walk independently on uneven surfaces.
And so he’s reverse engineering his lifestyle to prepare him for those two goals as he gets older. Which includes a wide array of thoughtful and deliberate strategies that he’s integrated into his lifestyle as protocols that he follows religously.
…And I just couldn’t help but think how refreshing those goals were in a sea of wished for yachts and added zeros.
