Are You The Fat Man at the Counter, The Chocolate Lab, or the Rugged Individualist?

Three ways to approach becoming your best self.

Are You The Fat Man at the Counter, The Chocolate Lab, or the Rugged Individualist?

Periodically, I visit the convenience store next to my office to grab a seltzer water and a snack. It’s a short walk and allows me to get away from my desk, grab some fresh air, and reset.

Inevitably, there in front of me stands a morbidly obese man buying pizza slices, a 62-ounce soda, and some candy. After the holidays, the store rolled up a cart loaded with extra holiday-themed candies, offering them at a discount to move them. I watched a guy grab all that he could, not willing to miss out on the deal.

It saddens me how many of us live with zero self-awareness.
