Engaging with our lives in a physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectually manner takes its toll on the system. But we are made to adapt to stimulus. And sometimes the unpredictability, the intensity, and the gloves off nature that life can throw at us demands we create a more resilient system. We are ALL athletes, we all have a skill, we all need to adapt to adversity, be agile, mobile, aware, need to practice, need creativity, be able to work as a team, connectivity, to accomplish whatever the goal is because although we may not compete in a sport for a trophy, we are always competing in the game of life and the ribbons come in the form of our purpose.
