3 Quick Thoughts: Interests that will make you Interesting and Theodore Roosevelt’s approach.
November 18, 2025 – Caffeine Tuesdays
Have a hobby that keeps you healthy in body
Something that demands movement, discipline, exertion and sweat, like hiking, martial arts, or weightlifting. It builds stamina not just for sport, but for life’s battles. It will teach you discipline, resilience and create a relationship with yourself and training partners.
Have a hobby that keeps you sharp in mind
Something that challenges your intellect and deepens your understanding, like reading novels or history, learning languages, or simply sharing ideas. It improves your depth and knowledge, trains you to think clearly, act decisively and gives you a broad understanding of topics; making you a better conversationalist.
Have a hobby that makes you interesting
Something that sparks stories, invites curiosity, and connects you to others, like photography, travel, or collecting rare artifacts. It reminds you that life is not just to be endured, but to be explored.
Theodore Roosevelt saw hobbies not as idle pastimes but as vital expressions of character, resilience, and curiosity. His approach to leisure was deeply philosophical and embodied his belief in the “strenuous life,” a life of vigorous effort, exploration, and self-improvement.
See you on Tuesday!
