My brain tells me I am tired, but when I hit the gym, the energy is there. I started out doing 30 minutes of weights and cardio and now I can go for 2 hours if I want. I usually stop at about an hour though. Rome wasn't built in a day.

The endorphins from fitness feel way way way better than any drunkenness for sure. I have learned that.

I routinely do nice things for people expecting nothing in return. Holding the door, making way in traffic, a big tip for a service.

All of things generate natural endorphins, internally created opiates. These are addictive as well, but can be used to make me and the world a better place.

It is my path for life and it is good and right.

Happy Sunday!

Thanks.
