Over 40? You have the answers for the rest of life.
It's a question I've been thinking about alot lately. Do I have all the answers to life's trials and tribulations? To the journey that's ahead? Has my experience been enough?
I'd love to know what you think as I share this journey with you.
Video mentioned: How I feel about being 55 years old.

Accepting my vulnerability now I'm older.
มุมมอง 1214 วันที่ผ่านมา
Join me on my journey to self-discovery as I embrace vulnerability and learn to be my authentic self. Let's explore the power of vulnerability together. Getting older has helped me care less. Accepting my vulnerability has helped me care more openly
Escape the negativity. Just be nice.

    If a twenty year old could look through the eyes of a 55yr old, then their life would fall into perspective. They would be more grounded and achieve more balance and calmness. I am 58 and and feel the tranquility of life each day.

    I think life appears faster as you get older because they always say time flies when you're having fun... Life should be more fun... If you lived a life with a bit more joy then no one would need holidays... Everything's packaged up in time for you...0 - 5 at home or nursery, 5 - 18 school, 18 - 21 college/uni/apprenticeships, mortgages, children x lol x as you get older you realise what's important and spend time on your joy.... I've always worked to live, but instead of chasing material stuff and money I chose to do jobs I enjoyed... I had a choice when my boy was diagnosed with autism, either look after him myself, give up my jobs, or hand that responsibility to the state and have a team of strangers dictate to me what I could and couldn't do?... I chose the former... Turned everything upside down... Way I looked at it I was just putting my life on hold while I got my son used to life... We've had tears, but we've had far more laughter... My joy is my garden, I'm very creative, so I like to change things each year, on little to no budget.. Love upcycling and am currently in the middle of painting the kitchen and hallway... I've learned a lot of minor trades over the years... purely due to a low budget, the housing will cover maintenance and repairs, but decoration is down to tennant, and as soon as you freshen up one area, everything else looks grubby and the cycle continues... Eat the nice foods, try the nice drinks, life's far too short xxx

    Fifty-five years is just over 20,000 days; that's how long you've been alive, so when you take it from that perspective 20,000 days, you have to realize something during that time: you may have had an off day, you may have had an hour, you may have had something happen in a minute, and you thought oh my god my life has just ended and then after several days the situation that you found yourself in that minute that day that our perspective of it changes 55 years is and the matter of fact a long time when you break it down into days you realize to yourself you're never wasted one single day. 8000 days is 21 years, approximately 10.000 days, just over 27 years. 50 is only 19.262 days.

  • @gearoidwalsh8606
    @gearoidwalsh8606 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The reason for it is we percieve time by comparison, fraction, ratio of our total time spent alive. When we're 2 years old, a year is half of our lives. So it subjectively takes a long time to pass. When we're 50, a year is a 50th of our total lifespan. So it seems short. A good thing about this for me is that when I get older I have more patience for things that take time - and those things tend to be more rewarding. When I was younger I used to get frustrated if something took more than a few minutes to cook.

    I don't actually see it that way. It only feels like yesterday when I think of a single moment during the past...yet the more I recollect, the more I begin to realise that there are millions of different memories locked inside my mind, and a kalidascope of amazing things that I've already done...so many experiences that I can only wonder how I managed to fit them all in during such a short 66 years. The ying & yang of life...with no regrets. I don't feel less mentally or physically able than I was as a young lad 🌱...simply because the boy inside remains alive...and I'm still fit and strong. We all turn to dust in the end, so happiness means far more than longevity. It is not what we HAVE that matters most, but what we have DONE.

Who you want to spend time with, what you want to try and possibly fail at, where you want to be. What you have done is take action.

There are two beings right now at the auction for your soul, one is God the other is satan. Satan offers you things that won’t last, and satans intent is to watch you suffer. God offers you his own Son and His intent is for you to be loved and provided for by Him. He loves you so much, you are worth more than you know to God. Turn to Jesus today, He is here and He has put this in your path so you may have a chance to know His love and the life found in Him.
