I find myself in both groups starting at age 44 with (sprint) triathlons and finishing with it with guiding a PC athlete at the inaugural worlds IronMan Nice-FR.

Now at age 63 back in family life again staying active but unstructured but with all the lessons from coaches like yours truly. :-)

I’ll be back in a different body with more wisdom and much more fun as the podiums, rankings and standing, medals and awards are on the table, doing because I can as the goal is the longing invitation for the near future.

Thanks @MarkAllen

Hard Choices Easy Life, Easy Choices Hard Life sums a lot about what goes for everyone's life. I myself am self aware that the life I am living is on total automation, there is no autonomous decision making I hold for myself as I didn't move outside my parent's house, which leads to they generally have a say in everything which is kind of default for their generation. A ruckus get created everyday for small bit of things which impacts everybody's day both in personal and professional which leads to a lot of stress and anxiety leading to poor focus & effort allocation throughout the whole day leading to mediocre efforts which will lead to mediocre or no result in the future.

There is no point in living half ass life in terms of efforts, in terms of the job we are doing, in terms of any kind of relationship we are be it with our parents, partners, singling. We have to be 200% all in. There is no place for laggard effort in our own lives and also in any kind of relationship we are in. It has to be raging fire full blown kind of automatic effort on daily basis and try to live life with the most kind of uptempo & zest. Bold & Courage is the only way to approach life, no place for timidity. Pour everything and them more to your life and others as well.
