Timothy L. Johnson author of "The Purpose Driven Body"

Maintaining a purpose-driven body is essential as we transition through various phases of life. In childhood, our energy seems boundless, a reservoir of calorie-burning excitement that can exhaust even the onlookers. As we mature, we learn to temper our energy output, finding a sweet spot of periodic bursts within our daily routine. However, this lifestyle, focused only on maintaining the status quo, often leads to a slow, degrading spiral. The later phases of our lives can be filled with regret for not seizing opportunities to do more when we had the chance, avoiding the haunting “if I would-a, could-a, should-a” regrets. The body is a marvelous creation that responds faithfully to those who nurture it.
