When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At 40 years old you simply know what life is about.
When you're in your 40s, you become more conscious of life being of limited duration and that you need to create memories and go on little adventures from time to time.
When you are 25 or even 30, you can just do things. When you get to 35, things are different. Time is more precious to me now. I've got my priorities.
I don't want to spend my life in my 40s feeling bad about being in my 40s, and then all of a sudden I'm 50, and I will have missed a whole decade!
One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.
Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
I think there's something that happens at 40 where you settle into your own skin and you stop caring what people think - you realize life is a gift from God and you want to live it to the fullest.
When you're in your early 20s, you go ahead and do everything. And it's very hard to judge yourself.
If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.
You don't have to do everything by the time you're 30. Or 40. All you need is a work ethic. It's what allows you to push through moments of disappointment and self-doubt and fear.
