Nothing is ever broken beyond repair.

Nothing's too far gone to be rectified or optimized.

The question is whether you're willing to identify the requirements to fix it

and then intentionally walk down that path of recreation.

Matthew McConaughey said life is not fair.

It never was.

It isn't now and it won't ever be.

Don't fall into the trap, the entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim.

You are not.

Don't ever think your situation, no matter how dire, cannot be remedied.

Can't be fixed, adjusted.

That it's not a stepping stone to something beautiful.

You always have that control. Always.

I'm going to use the body as an example again. Not because I think physical fitness is the only thing,

but because I think it is the perfect metaphor for life.

I think if we understand physical resilience, grit, and persistence,

we can handle anything the external world presents to us.

I can't even articulate how at one point I was 1,000% convinced I was positive that I'd never be able to lift weights overhead again.

My shoulders were just that bad.

But chiropractors, body work, stretching, nutrition, supplements, sauna, all these things in over a year since that journey began,

I'm seeing progress like I've never imagined.

Despite the occasional flare-ups and injuries from time to time, but that's, you know, we'll chalk it up as life.
