I’ve long thought that people spend so much time on the inputs of health and wellness, but less so on the outputs.
Said differently, what is the point about spending time and money (the inputs) to improve your sleep, diet, and fitness routines if you aren’t going to do anything different with your life (the outputs) with this newfound energy. Like if sleeping better means you now have more vigor for watching another episode of TV or scrolling, then the view isn’t worth the climb.
It’s cool to learn more about all “the outputs” you’ve taken on and experienced over the last couple years.
But to Bryan Johnson’s credit, I do envy his 100 Oura Ring sleep scores, especially coming from a low-80s Oura sleep scorer.
Matt - this one has blown me away! SOOOO Good! I couldn't agree more with your thesis and especially your view on the 'longevity quest' and the extreme example of Bryan Johnson (what a yucky life). You've inspired your mom to be more adventurous and courageous to try new things...and experience LIFE to the FULLEST. Love you!
It's a fun sort of meditation to ideate on how the world would be if more people read this piece and chased what they truly loved. I don't remember where/who said this but it's reminding me of a recent reading that suggested, "Every day you should ask yourself not only what you expect from life, but also what life expects from you."
Thanks for sharing your words and wonders with us!
