Deathbed to six-pack AKA Steven.

I've been on my 'death-bed' twice, I'm still here. I've taken this to mean, I'm clearly immortal. Trapped between 50 & 60 - questioning ageing and purpose 🤔

Am I Too Old? Are You? What Can We Do About It?

What Does “Too Old” Even Mean?

I am 54 now, not in particularly great health, riddled with ailments like an old skirting board slowly succumbing to woodworm.

I have achieved nothing of real note in my life, aside from having a great family life, 2 well-raised, well-rounded daughters and a lady who is my very best friend; no one else comes remotely close.

You may have noticed the intriguing name of this channel, page? Profile? wall? … Erm… What is the correct parlance for this? I’m still unsure.

Back to the point, Steven, focus, follow the cursor, do the tippy-tappy thing on the keyboard!

Whatever it is called, my chosen name is:

Deathbed to six-pack.

This relates to the point of my life I find myself at; having cheated death on a couple of occasions, I now wonder what I am capable of.

(Or, as I choose to assume, Am I utterly immortal?)

No really? What could I really achieve if I set my sights high, hold myself accountable, follow through with what I know to be right?

If I muster up the resolve, discipline and necessary effort to become ‘more’.

whatever that oh-so-vague proposition of ‘more’ even means.

Nope! I don’t know either.
