Ever go in for one thing but walk away with something completely unexpected? If it’s negative, it can bring us down. Quickly.

If it’s positive, it can go as far as making us soar.

Last night a (great) friend I rarely see was at the gym. He initiated a meeting.

And said something, with conviction, that I needed to hear.

Funny how little things can ignite a fire.

While I won’t share what he said, you can count on the hope that you experience (and pay attention to) these seemingly insignificant cues.

The great Summer of 2013 in our body? Five pulse-check questions:

  1. Are we satisfied with our health?
  2. How long have we been this way?
  3. What do we need to do?
  4. Why aren’t we doing more of that?
  5. Are Summers more fun when we can move?

Everything is an investment. Nothing invested, no dividends paid.
