I didn't reach my athletic peak until I was 43. I didn't write my first book until I was 44. I didn't start my podcast until I was 45. At 30, I thought my life was over. At 52 I know it's just beginning. Keep running. Never give up. And watch your kite soar. ✌🏼🌱

If you’re feeling down or looping negative self-talk or just indulging in self-obsession, reach out to someone less fortunate. Someone who could use a hand. Give that person your full attention. Service breaks the spell. Every time.

What’s most important? Is it talent, passion, intensity or purpose? I would say purpose, because it’s the foundation of consistency. And consistency — as unsexy as it may be — differentiates success from failure and ultimately good from great.
