Working out at the gym got a lot easier the day I realized the sweat served a higher purpose. I’m 43, and have three kids under 8 years old, so if I want to be around—healthy and active—for my grandchildren, I better put the work in now or face regret later.
Activities that aren’t inherently joyful, like clocking time on a treadmill, get better when done in service of something bigger.
