Welcome,

The empty park in the header is much more relevant than I expected it to be... 😅

I've began to settle into a good routine under the circumstances. My workouts were struggling at the beginning but by setting a few new fitness goals, I've become excited to make progress towards them and it's been much easier.

How have you adjusted your goals for the quarantine? Unknown and changing circumstances can make excuses easy and progress difficult but by updating your goals, you renew your motivation. Trigger excitement by focusing on what can be accomplished.

I'm excited to share this months findings with you!

Let's begin.

Sum: 40 Tales From The Afterlives By David Eagleman - This is one of the more unique books I've ever read. Its short (about 110+/- pgs) and it's made up of 40 short stories about what the afterlife might look like. Each story is exciting and incredibly creative. The book continuously makes you reconsider life in fascinating ways. I highly recommend.

The first short story in this article (named Sum) is one of my favorites from the book.

Quote Of The Month

"The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad — because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune."
- Alan Watts
