What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

The greatest gift anyone could ever give me is peace of mind. It’s the one treasure money can’t buythe elusive goal we all chase but so few truly attain. Think about it: all our efforts to earn money, master new skills, or climb the ladder of success ultimately boil down to one purposesecuring a life where we feel safe, content, and at peace.

But imagine if someone could simply give us that state of mind. No battles to fight, no obstacles to overcome. Just instant tranquilitynirvana at the press of a button. Wouldn’t that be the most extraordinary gift of all?

We did not know what the internet was, and smartphones were yet to be invented.

It kicks off with climbing the two flights of stairs to my office roomabout 10 timesas a warmup. Then comes an hour of exercise with light weights and resistance bands. By 6:00 AM, I’m completely spent. But the day doesn’t let up. From 6:00 to 7:00 AM, I’m in the garden, tending to plants, watering them, and pulling out weeds. Let me tell you, this part is literally back-breaking.… Do you play in your daily life?
