Numbers are important for many different reasons.
But only if we place importance or significance on them.
Age.
Weight.
Height.
Savings.
Debt.
MPG.
ROI.
Zip code.

Medicating ourselves with busy-ness so as to avoid exercising, annual exams, facing the truth on how we have let ourselves go…

Authentic.
If we say health is important then we damn well better prove it.
