    Awesome! It takes so much guts to turn your life upside down like you’ve done several times now - but you’ve got so many great stories and have met so many great folks, I’m sure.
    One of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned is the importance of margin in life - that’s so spot on. Busyness seems like accomplishment in the moment, but there’s so much value in having margin available to help others or to help yourself.

At 45 years old the proposition is horrifying, but the urge won't stop nagging me.

    I've been making some serious changes over the last few months. I had stopped training for nearly a year and was stuck in a job with no growth in sight. I ended up spending my free time building towards a different career path, and I took the first successful steps just 5 months ago. I also went back to learning brazilian jiu jitsu, which I hadn't done for more than a year. My mind and body are still adjusting to not having a lot of free time, but honestly, anything is better than the existential dread of waking up in the morning and doing nothing for 16 hours, and then going to bed feeling despondent that I wasted my entire day.

    Thanks for the update, Brother! those are all incredibly valid reasons to leave your old place behind. hard to do for sure but as you said it's already paying off in the ways you had hoped. I'm in somewhat the same boat you were. I work physically hard almost every day and having the energy left over for training (and recovery) is def a challenge but I love what I do and try to juggle everything as best I can! I wish you the best of everything in this new chapter of your life and of course look forward to anything you share here or on the sociable medias.
