Despite what is reported on some social media channels, today is my 55th birthday. That officially makes me a senior citizen eligible for senior discounts. :rofl:

The best birthday gift I received thus far was a gift I gave myself many years ago: The gift of taking my health seriously so now I can proudly say that I feel better at 55 than I did at 35. Had I not done so, my own writings would have prophecized my plight: Wealth in a wheelchair.

A friend and a bit like a mentor of mine just turned 70. We were having lunch and he walked me though the "decades" and each marked a different perspective.

At one point he said that most of his friends in 60s started trying to "buy back health". The typical story was that they'd work hard in their 30s, amass great wealth in 40s and 50s but lose sight of what it cost them. At that point they'd begin the typical "buy back health" routine: overpriced trainers, strange clinics with overpriced private doctors, retreats for non-traditional medicine for whatever they have etc.

And still, not only you can't turn back the clock... they typically had a hard time letting go of the life they are so used to (drinking, eating too much at fancy restaurants, poor sleep habits etc).

Then in their 70s they are firmly back to being the way they were. We are creatures of habit.

It was fascinating to hear. A lot of lessons came out of that lunch. Including that if you want to make health a priority, it's a life long thing, not a "I'll get to it" thing.

And here's what's cool about him that gives credibility: even at 70, he's still out there with me, hitting the same endurance events! Maybe not at the same pace, but certainly not out of the race!

Health is supremely important to enjoy life.

Happy Birthday MJ!
