I played basketball with a high school classmate a few years after we graduated. He was muscular but out of shape and overweight, and was hard to recognize.

I just found out that he's now an Instagram fitness influencer with millions (!) of followers.

I'm not crazy about Instagram, but I feel energized knowing he did some serious soul searching in the last years and it seems like things are going well for him after doubling down on his health.

May we all learn to do that better.
