10 things I'm learning as I age

1. It’s never too late

There are lots of things I still want to do. Age is just a number. You can do anything at any age.

2. Time flies

It seems only a short time since I was in my thirties.

3. You don’t need a lot

You might want a lot but you don’t need a lot.

4. Know what makes you tick

Knowing yourself gives you a benchmark, the basis for your life.

5. Like what you like

Don’t follow the crowd. Follow your curiosity. Then you’ll find other like minded people.

6. Keep an open mind

Very little is cast in stone.

7. Life is short

Do the thing.

8. What we think is important often isn’t.

Don’t worry about the ‘shoulds’. In hindsight, a lot of what I thought was important really wasn’t.

9. Enjoy the small pleasures.

Make a list of what you love. Do more of that.

10. Life has no timetable.

There’s an expectation that our lives will follow a certain path. They don’t!
