I don’t think every man needs five hobbies. I think every man needs to find a few things that make him feel alive. Something that gets you outside. Something that lets you create. Something that makes you a beginner again. Something that makes you stronger. Something that makes you think, “I can’t wait to do that.” You don’t have to be good at it. You don’t have to monetize it. You don’t have to turn it into another thing to optimize. You can just enjoy it. Because life can get pretty serious after 30. Work. Bills. Family. Responsibilities. Routine. Don’t let that be all there is. Try something you’ve always wanted to try. You might suck. You might quit. Or you might find your thing. Get curious. Go play. LIVE MORE.
