The Car Dealership General Manager said he felt guilty by the obviously fit middle aged men (47 & 55) in his office.

Unsolicited.

Yet proof that personal vibrancy is uncontainable.

If what you do for work requires setting an example, vibrancy is like honesty.

Exceptionally rare and valuable.

Uncontainable.

Because we are distracted, entertained, and medicated with busy-ness and apathy.

He who does not move does not notice his own chains.
-Rosa Luxenburg

Figuring this out is only one person’s responsibility.
