Each human is at least 99% identical to the 7.9 billion inhabitants on the planet. Though our DNA sequence cannot be altered epigenetic markers have the ability to modify gene expression.

Your genetic blueprint is one of the many pieces of the complex human system. Your genetic sequence is a combination of DNA markers [Adenosine – A, Cytosine – C, Guanine – G, and Thymine – [T]  known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms [SNPs – pronounced  “snips”].

Speech is silver.
Silence is golden.

This classic 1848 proverb eerily parallels a pervasive societal theme. Discretion may at times be more valuable than eloquent words but sitting on your hands remains unacceptable.

Growth has no endpoint. Change is a constant “Truth” in life. Countless people envision and talk about changes they would like in their lives yet refrain from getting the job done. Endurance athletes are not exempt from this behavior.
