Motivated by Movement

And we either respect it or disrespect it. If we respect it, it will take us on all of our journeys. It will allow us to say yes to vacations with our kids and grandkids when we're 67 years old. It allows us to go to work every day. It allows us to function on this beautiful planet of ours."
