We swap a city hike for a deeper look at how curiosity and discipline shape midlife, from daily routines to brave little experiments that make life feel wider. A walk, a map, and a flurry of left turns become a clear plan to try three new things and say yes on purpose.

• using a hike to reveal leadership, trust and time styles
• curiosity versus discipline as complementary tools
• finding a buddy to lower the barrier to trying new things
• low‑stakes starts like a beginner pickleball session
• work from home shrinking circles and how to expand them
• Big Magic and creative living beyond fear
• small daily experiments in walking, cooking and music
• a simple homework: three new things this month
