To me health and wellness means having the mental and physical fortitude to withstand the challenges of life that I think are worth taking on. By challenges I mean things planned and unplanned: it could be a challenge I’ve deliberately sought out, like a tough training plan, or something that I find myself thrown into or taking on unexpectedly like helping out in an emergency, or just having the capacity to do something nice for someone else when the opportunity crops up, like helping someone move.
