Perspective

Some things get worse with age, like our bodies. Our organs, skin, eyes, teeth, skeleton, muscles, joints and brain do not age well, sad but true.

One thing that age helps is our wisdom and perspective. With life experiences behind you, you have learned so many lessons and hopefully gained some insight into yourself and other people and life in general. You have learned what will make you happy, and what will make you miserable. You have learned what’s truly important, and you pick your battles carefully. It’s easier to ignore some small hurts. Your confidence is high, because you’ve been through a lot and you’re still here. You’ve learned how to love others well. You know that life is precious and way too short.
