Will Your Body Let You Keep Saying Yes?
Some of what you want to keep saying yes to makes a claim on your body. The question is what that claim actually is, and whether the body is really what is standing in the way.

Physical Capacity
Keep your body ready for what matters now, and for what you have not said yes to yet.
Physical Capacity is the body's usable capability to support the participation that matters to you. Depending on the yes, that can mean muscular strength, stamina, mobility, balance, coordination, or enough reserve to recover and do it again — and those are not one thing, so more of one is no answer to a shortage of another.
A yes getting harder is information, not a verdict. The limiter may be time, logistics, environment, or changed desire rather than the body at all, and when it is the body this is less a warning about decline than a question about readiness: what a capability keeps available to you, and what keeping it available is worth.
