Getting Fighting Fit at 40 Part 4: When You’ve Hit A Brick Wall

The magnanimous universe throws things our way and all of a sudden, life turns on a different lane. In my case, it is one without boxing gloves, without kicks, and without skipping ropes — and without fighting. I’d like to say dreams sometimes get crushed, but that would be melodramatic.
