"I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas."

Johnny Cash

Finding and following your path is a deeply personal journey that often requires a conscious commitment to sobriety, wellness, fitness, and mindfulness.

Embracing sobriety can be a robust foundation for your journey, helping to keep your mind clear and create space for personal growth. It involves deliberately avoiding substances that can cloud your judgment and hinder your progress. Sobriety opens up a world of clarity, allowing you to understand your true desires and motivations better. This newfound clarity can be instrumental in identifying what wellness means for you, be it emotional, physical, or mental health, and in setting realistic, achievable goals.

Incorporating fitness into your path enhances your physical health and mental well-being. Regular physical activity releases endorphins, reduces stress, and improves overall mood, creating a positive feedback loop that encourages further engagement in healthy habits.

Alongside fitness, practicing mindfulness can transform your journey by keeping you grounded and present. Mindfulness techniques, such as yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises, help you stay connected to your inner self and the present moment, reducing anxiety and increasing self-awareness.

These elements of sobriety, wellness, fitness, and mindfulness create a holistic approach to personal development, enabling you to forge a path authentically yours, aligned with your values, and supportive of your long-term happiness and fulfillment.

You can do it!

Yesterday, I discovered one of my favorite (and more dangerous) roads to cycle on was freshly paved...and came with a few safety warnings, all of which I ignored.

The rain held off, and the Yankees won an afternoon game. It was a good day to play hooky from work.

Yesterday, I set out on my first 100-mile bike ride in three years. To me, a 100-mile bike ride is the equivalent of a 26.2-mile marathon. Both require stamina and are highly mentally challenging. And sometimes, you need to know when to stop.

Many people ask me why I run. Simple. I'm running for my life.

“Real adventure is not polished.... It burns brightest on the map's edges, but it exists in all of us. It exists at the intersection of imagination and the ridiculous. You have to have faith. It will find you there. And when it does, remember, there's just one question: In this life, when the road comes to an end, will you keep pedaling?" Kyle Dempster
